Check in your /etc/fstab, it may have a line for it already. And if it doesn't, you could add one to let yourself mount/unmount it as a user:

Code:
# Let a user mount /dev/cdrom1 on /mnt/cdrom as a user
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0

and with that, you can do:
Code:
mount /mnt/cdrom
umount /mnt/cdrom

as a user.
