NO. One more time (Martin already answered and wrote it in the wiki: 
http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/index.php/Installation#Setting_access_rights_for_USB_download), 
you must be in the dialout group (sudo adduser <your login> dialout>, 
logout and relogin) and install 10-paparazzi.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d 
. It should be enough.
It's _never_ a good idea to work as root on a unix machine.
