libusb doesn't do that. That's up to the system.

With Linux, you can modify the permissions and/or ownership of the
device in /proc/bus/usb by hand (using chmod and chown respectively). Or
you can change the default permissions and/or ownership by using options
when loading the usbcore module.

Under the BSD's, you would modify the permissions and/or ownership of
the device in /dev
