Unable to Access LVM2/Fedora Media

I've been having a lot more problems with this than what I anticipated. First off it took me quite a bit of time just to figure out how to mount the lvm2 volume (my Fedora /home) and now I'm unable to properly read/write to it.

[chance@Kawaii ~]$ ls /media/Fedora
chance  lost+found
[chance@Kawaii ~]$ ls /media/Fedora/chance
ls: cannot open directory /media/Fedora/chance: Permission denied
[chance@Kawaii ~]$ sudo ls /media/Fedora/chance
Desktop    Downloads     Junk   Pictures  Templates
Documents  IMG_0354.JPG  Music  Public    Videos

As you can see to view/open anything that's hosted on the Fedora partition I have to prefix it with sudo. I'm assuming this might becaused because Fedora is password protected?

As always, any help is appreciated. I'm sorry for asking what may end up being an obvious question, but I can't find anything that works.

Your Fedora user is not the same as your Arch user - and I mean UID and GID, not just user and group names.

sudo works because it gives your Arch user root privileges.

ls -l is the obvious answer.
