My /etc/fstab have almost the following lines:

/dev/cdrom	/cdrom	iso9660		noauto,user	0 0
/dev/fd0	/floppy	vfat		noauto,user	0 0

[I do have some more options and this is written completly off my
memory]

Then neither the floppy or cdrom is mounted atomatic and any user can
do it.

Add the users to the floppy group. Append them to the line in
/etc/groups beginning with floppy.
