udev applies these ACLs to all devices tagged with TAG+="uaccess" from udev
rules.
(The tagging is kind of an internal detail and your rules are supposed to
use ENV{ID_this_and_that}, but... for personal use it works well enough.)
Just make sure you get the rule ordering right, I think 71-something.rules
is a good place. I can't check right now, might be remembering wrong.
