+The user should have read and write access to /dev/i2c-0 (or the
+corresponding device if there is more than on I2C bus).
+
+The recomended way to grand the required premissions is to incude the user
+in the i2c group:
+
+groupadd -r i2c
+groupmems -g i2c -a <login>
+
+and set the /dev/i2c-0 read and write permissions to this group by
+installing the file 99-i2c-dev.rules in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory and
+reloading the udev rules and the i2c-dev module with the commands:
+
+udvadm control -R
+rmmod i2c-dev
+modprobe i2c-dev
