Ran into this myself some time ago. The problem is due to permissions on the "device" screen is using. This is why you are getting the "permission denied" error. Can't quite remember which device right now, but I wrote a script to change perms on the device for users wishing to do very close to what you want to do. If I recall, I brought up screen while using another session to poll (cd <device_directory>; while true; do ls -ltr; done), the device list. This way, I could see which device was assigned a user, and know which device to change perms on. Hope this helps... if I remember, I can look for the script tomorrow and post it.

deallocate
deallocate(1) deallocate(1)
NAME
deallocate - device deallocation
SYNOPSIS
deallocate [-s] device
deallocate [-s] [-F] device
deallocate [-s] -I
The deallocate utility deallocates a device allocated to the evoking user. device can be a device defined in device_allocate(4) or one of
the device special files associated with the device. It resets the ownership and the permission on all device special files associated with
device, disabling the user's access to that device. This option can be used by an authorized user to remove access to the device by another
user. The required authorization is solaris.device.allocate.
When deallocation or forced deallocation is performed, the appropriate device cleaning program is executed, based on the contents of
device_allocate(4). These cleaning programs are normally stored in /etc/security/lib.
The following options are supported:
device Deallocate the device associated with the device special file specified by device.
-s Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output.
-F device Forces deallocation of the device associated with the file specified by device. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke
authorization is permitted to use this option.
-I Forces deallocation of all allocatable devices. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization is permitted to
use this option. This option should only be used at system initialization.
The following exit values are returned:
non--zero An error occurred.
/etc/security/device_allocate
/etc/security/device_maps
/etc/security/dev/*
/etc/security/lib/*
