Bug Description
Only launching qemu with sudo or as root i could manage usb devices. As usability issue there could be a workaround changing permission of usb devices (proc) in fstab or use some other workaround so normal user can manage usb devices in qemu.

From reading http:// fabrice. bellard. free.fr/ qemu/qemu- doc.html# TOC35, it appears that root privileges are required to do this, so qemu appears to be working properly. Marking as rejected.
Changing this would require non-trivial system changes, which require an accompanying specification. Please look into writing or working with others on such a spec.
Thanks!
