Adding user will let a normal user mount and unmount the drive. This
will set the "onwership" of the mount point to the user and group of hte
user that mounts it. Depending on umask setting, and the mount umask
option, it may limit access to just that user and root. This is great
for floppies, and ok for CDs, but probably not what is needed here.
>From "man mount":
user Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. The
name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that he
can unmount the file system again. This option implies
the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden
by subsequent options, as in the option line
user,exec,dev,suid).
