Is there a reason you can't use sudo?
Sample output on my system at work:
$ lsblk -f
NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT
sda
|-sda1
|-sda2 /
`-sda3 [SWAP]
sr0
$ sudo lsblk -f
[sudo] password for wooledg:
NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT
sda
|-sda1 ntfs Windows FE0EDCF30EDCA5C5
|-sda2 ext4 1a20ffb7-897c-4373-84c1-14089a6deab8 /
`-sda3 swap b8d67062-8262-476d-9370-8166f7572fd3 [SWAP]
sr0
You can even configure sudo not to prompt you for a password.
Certain operations on a Linux system simply require root privileges,
and your insistence on "not having to be root" is not rational.
