I need to access my Nexus 7 2013 LTE (deb) over adb and fastboot, but it seems that it's required to be root to be able to run the adb server to be able to access the device due to USB rules.

How can I configure udev to allow access to this device as a non-root user for adb and fastboot?

Create a new file at /etc/udev/rules.d/50-nexus7-deb.rules:

/etc/udev/rules.d/50-nexus7-deb.rules:

# adb protocol on nexus 7 deb/razorg:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="d001", MODE="0600", OWNER="myusername"
# fastboot protocol on nexus 7 deb/razorg
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4ee0", MODE="0600", OWNER="myusername"

Change myusername above to be your Linux username. Simply unplug your Android device and replug to be able to access adb and fastboot as a non-root user.
