This is what console.perms is for.

It may be that additional items may need to be added to console.perms 
upstream, but for now you can easily add your own.

You can edit /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms or add a new 
definition file into that directory.

The difference between console.perms and udev is largely a matter of 
responsibility.
When do things need to happen?  If it needs to happen at boot time, 
think udev.  If it needs to happen when a user logs in, then think 
console.perms.

Good luck!
