If I understand this correctly, it's a mount/umount rule - normal
users cannot run root commands. They are written to disallow normal
users from performing root tasks.
However, if you are using gnome, you can use the gnome-umount command
(which is the equivalent of right-clicking the icon and selecting
"Unmount"). I suspect there is a similar analogue in KDE.
