    If you mean that users can't mount it: to allow users to mount volumes,
    you must ensure that there is an appropriate line in the /etc/fstab
    file, with the 'user' parameter.

    If you mean that it's mounted but users can't see it: see the umask
    option for mounting vfat (man mount), and make the appropriate addition
    to your mount command line or /etc/fstab.
