The mounting of a removable device by a user may be granted with the PolicyKit Authorization tool under the Advanced tab of System Settings. To accomplish this you will need to run System Settings with root authorization. This can be achieved in several manners, but typing su and entering a password isn't one of them. If you are already capable of obtaining root authorization your own way, stick with that. Using the "ALT F2" shortcut keys then entering "kdesu systemsettings" works best.
This is an alterntive way to gain root authorization
that can be used without entering a password:
Install sudo
Become a member of the wheel group
User Manager in the Systems menu works for me
Open a terminal as root and type
scroll down to the line
"Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands"
uncomment whichever way you choose to roll
type
to write or save
type
to quit
or "ALT F2" "kdesu kwrite"
open /etc/fstab and add the following line to fstab
close kate
or "ALT F2" "kdesu systemsettings"
Open PolicyKit Authorization under the Advance tab
Open org.freedesktop > Storage > Hal and select
Mount file systems from removable drives
On the right side of the tab select the Grant button
In the popup window Select User drop down list pick whichever user you wish to grant this authorization to.
I was able to automount the 3 USB flash drives I tried by clicking on their labels in the Device Notifier popup.
