Duplicate of #2934. Have a look at this comment and below.
In summary; by default polkit
won't allow this operation as you're not logged in to the console. This is to prevent a security hole where remote users can read USB sticks of other users attached to the console.
oh, sorry for not responding sooner...for some reason github didn't notify me of the new comments on this issue....will follow-up tomorrow
how come the root user can see the USB drive then?
You'd have to check out the polkit rules to be sure exactly what is happening.
@modernNeo - do you need any more help with this?
do I need to follow the instructions in this message to get polkit to allow my users to mount USB drives?
You'll need to do something like that to figure out exactly what is happening with Polkit.
The linked message is for GNOME rather than Cinnamon, so you may find the polkit actions are not the same.
alright, I will get to this soon and report back on how it went.
