It is worth noting that local access to the /dev/sr* device does
not depend on being a member of the cdrom group, Using 'ls -l':

 brw-rw----+ root cdrom 11, 0 June 30 11:15 /dev/sr0

The "+" is a result of 70-uaccess.rules in /lib/udev/rules.d. It
indicates an Access Control List (ACL).

The installer has always  put the first user into the cdrom group. It
is questionable whether this is necessary any more.
