In a non-GUI environment, then I guess if they install "
Policy Mount"...
sudo apt install pmount
...then use the
pumount command line utility of the pmount application. The pumount command could be invoked with a bash script to do the unmounting of the USB drive without requiring priv.
I recently opted for...
...as a better tool for mounting USB drives over...
usbmount - automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices
I combine automount-usb with pumount to do both the automatic mounting and manual unmounting of USB drives on a Debian server.
cheers,
