Those are default permissions. However those normally won't give a normal user access. You can change the permissions of that file/device to enable your user to have access. I am typing this on my mobile and can't quickly tell you how to do that on a permanent basis. But for a quick change you can use 'chown' to change the owner to your own user.
What about 'gpasswd -a <user> tty' to add the tty group to the user? Needs a re-login to make use of the changes.
