Mounting a floppy

I know this is probably BASIC, but I can't get it to work.

I want to be able to mount a floppy disk as myself (user) not root. I
thought adding "disk" and "floppy" to my list under security -> user
-> details would do the trick but I still get the response "Only root
can do that"

What am I missing This is 10.3 - basic installation no special stuff
done to it.
