Not Authorized to Mount USB
I just installed Arch today, and when I try to mount a USB device, I am told that I am not authorized. I've done a lot of searching, but I haven't been able to figure this out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Not Authorized to Mount USB
I looked at the Udisk section, but I can't seem to figure out how that helps me. The location "/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-udisks.rules" doesn't exist on my installation, so I can't edit any of the rules or anything,

My previous post was meant to gently guide you in the right directions as it was your first post, but as it was not addressed I'll clarify: posting only what you have is not likely to lead to a satisfactory outcome. We need to know exactly what you are doing and what error messages you are getting - this is what we expect of people asking for help here.
