Right,
So this sounds like the kind of device access you would only want to
give to the user at the same physical console as the device.
In other words, access control by ACL (as we do for media players,
phones, scanners, etc. already)

udev-extras does contain an early version of code that will set ACLs for
devices, but it is not suitable for use right now. It's intended to
replace code that already exists in HAL as we migrate away from HAL to
DeviceKit over the coming years.
Right now, the correct place to set your device ACL is through HAL.
