Summary	0006957: Bypass authentication using Disks(Gnome to mount USB.
Description	When i try to mount USB directly from terminal, I got error that i need to be superuser to mount USB. When tried to mount USB from GUI, i was asked password for authentication. But when I tried to mount same USB from "Disks" (gnome-disk-utility), USB was mounted successfully without asking for authentication. Though, I can access the USB from terminal only, not from "Folder" (GUI).
Steps To Reproduce	1) Open Disks ( gnome-disk-utility). 2) Mount the USB by clicking the little triangle. 3) Note the mount point of USB. 4) Use Terminal to access that mount point, will be able to access, and perform all operations (CRUD).
Additional Information	I am using kali 2020.4 with latest updates.
