Sorry what 'permission' you are referring to? I could not find it on
man sane-scsi
as user

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
(remark: the scanner has been turned on when starting the computer)
