How to grant standard users access to disk partitions and flash storage?

Question

I have a partition that I need standard users (not administrators)to have read/write access to. However, this partition does not even appear to them as it does to me as an administrator. How can I make it so that standard users can read/write to this partition? It would be nice if they could have the ability to mount it if needed.

I have the same problem with removable media - if I have a flash card in the computer, the standard users cannot see this storage media.

Do you require access to the raw partition or to the filesystem on it? — jippie, Jul 10 '12 at 07:15

Go to the Unity dash, and type Users and Groups. When the window opens, click on the desired user, and then the Advanced Settings Tab

and then click on the User Privileges tab, and choose the options that you want.
