The OP might want a .pkla file somewhere in/etc/polkit-1/localauthority
with the contents:

   [Mount internal devices]
   Identity=unix-user:brian
   Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
   ResultAny=yes
   ResultInactive=yes
   ResultActive=yes

On the other hand he might see this as unsuitable in some way. But he
has pklocalauthority(8) to guide him further.
