This is not how to do this! 

the /dev tree is created by udev on every boot 

on centos/RHEL/fedora 

/dev/ttyS0 and it's friends are owned by root and are in the uucp group 

Add your normal user to the uucp group and you will be good to go 

usermod -a -G uucp <username>

you may need to log your user out then back in for the group memberships
to update
