RUN RC522 READ Python Script without SUDO [duplicate]

Question

Im working with MFRC522-Python library, I READ the RFid Uid then I open a webbrowser with a specific URL composed by the uid of each card.

The thing is in Raspbian Buster (RPI 3b+) cannot run Chrome-Browser as SUDO from a python script.

I would like to know if is there any way to read the RC522 without SUDO

CODE:

#!/usr/bin/python
import signal
import time
import sys
import os
import webbrowser
from pirc522 import RFID
#chrome = chromium-browser()

run = True
rdr = RFID()
util = rdr.util()
util.debug = True

def end_read(signal,frame):
    global run
    print("\nCtrl+C captured, ending read.")
    run = False
    rdr.cleanup()
    sys.exit()

signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, end_read)

print("Starting")
os.system('chromium-browser --app=http://localhost/ --kiosk --user-data-dir /home/pi & ')

while run:
    rdr.wait_for_tag()

    (error, data) = rdr.request()
    if not error:
        print("\nDetected: " + format(data, "02x"))

    (error, uid) = rdr.anticoll()
    if not error:
        print("Card read UID: "+str(uid[0])+","+str(uid[1])+","+str(uid[2])+","+str(uid[3]))

        print("Setting tag")
        util.set_tag(uid)

    os.system('chromium-browser --app=http://localhost/verperfil/rfid.php?rfid='+str(uid[0])+''+str(uid[1])+''+str(uid[2])+''+str(uid[3])+'')
        print("\nAuthorizing")
        #util.auth(rdr.auth_a, [0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x96, 0x92])
        #util.auth(rdr.auth_b, [0x74, 0x00, 0x52, 0x35, 0x00, 0xFF])
        print("\nReading")
        util.read_out(4)
        print("\nDeauthorizing")
        util.deauth()

        time.sleep(1)

THE OUTPUT WITHOUT SUDO:

Answer 1

As the output complains about "No access to /dev/mem", you could give access to the user running the script:

sudo chown pi /dev/mem

If your user is not pi, change the user name.

Answer 2

Well, i was "closed-in-to-just-one-posibility" -or not thinking clear- The MFRC522-Python lib "Read.py" cannot be executed without sudo AND the chromium-browser CANNOT BE EXECUTED as SUDO, so... Afters a lot of Coffee and hours i found that i can execute the Read.py as SUDO and inside of it, the web browser directly with another username

basicly i have modified my script and replace this

webbrowser.open('http://localhost/verperfil/rfid.php?rfid='+str(uid[0])+''+str(uid[1])+''+str(uid[2])+''+str(uid[3])+'')

to this:

os.system('sudo -upi chromium-browser http://localhost/verperfil/rfid.php?rfid='+str(uid[0])+''+str(uid[1])+''+str(uid[2])+''+str(uid[3])+'')

and the browser just starts perfectly, one thing, is i dont know why the script get paused when browser is opened.. but this topic is ended :) THANKS TO ALL OF US
