So I'm working with a developer making a simple cross-platform graphical program to write Raspberry Pi OS images to SD card. This is meant for beginners to use. The developer is adamant that their program doesn't need to run under 'sudo' but that every user should be added to the disk group instead.
This means that every user can write directly to system disk devices at any time. The Debian-based systems I use don't add regular users to "disk". Is it reasonable/common for regular users to be set up this way?
cheers

After just checking not its a bad idea. Disk is raw disk access so basically root. Nick
