Check that your username is a member of the plugdev group.

Is it necessary? My expectation is that uaccess feature of udev and systemd-logind should be enough at least for udisks.

By the way, you don’t want users permanently added to groups like audio

using it and spy on you using webcam, microphone etc. Access to such
critical peripherals should only be granted for active user.
