Yes certainly. You ask cdrecord to show what scsi devices are on the scsi buses (note the plural there too). It will send an inquiry command to all of them to get back an answer what the respective device is and get assume nothing to be there if the inquiry times out. So obviously to scan the bus cdrecord need to "write" the inquiry command to all generic scsi interfaces. What you problaby want is to scan the bus once to know what's the right device, put that device in /etc/cdrecord.conf or wherever the default location of that is nowadays and then adjust the permission on that one device so users intended to be able to burn CD's have the matching permissions (i.e. belong to cdwrite group). *BUT* cdrecord will not be able to run in real-time priority and other minor problems if not run as root. So the recommendation from the author (Jörg not me) is to set cdrecord suid root and set the execute permissions so only the right users may execute it.
