    YaST/System/Partitioner. There, select the partition and hit Edit. In Mount
    point, type in the desired mounting point. Be sure to select "Do not
    format" !
    Then, click "Fstab options". In the "Arbitr. options" you can add this:
    gid=xxxx,umask=002

    where xxxx is the numeric ID for the "users" group. Or you can create a
    separate group in which you can put the users with write permissions for that
    partition, and replace xxxx with this ID.

    This will make this partition to be mounted on boot, with owner like
    root:users, and will allow members of group "users" to write in it.
