I have no problem mounting an ISO image as a user:

  brian@desktop:~/buster-jigdo$ udevil mount debian-10.2.0-i386-DVD-1.iso
  Mounted /home/brian/buster-jigdo/debian-10.2.0-i386-DVD-1.iso at /media/debian-10.2.0-i386-DVD-1.iso

  brian@desktop:~/buster-jigdo$ mount
  /dev/loop0 on /media/debian-10.2.0-i386-DVD-1.iso type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000)

I feel I am misunderstanding you.
