Hi @Mawuena 

Mounting a CD-ROM as an ordinary user in RHEL 9 requires specific permissions configured by a root user. By default, only the root user can mount devices.

Simplest way to use gnome-disk-utility. GNOME provides a straightforward way to configure automounting of drives, particularly useful for internal drives or frequently used external drives. This is primarily managed through the Disks Utility (gnome-disk-utility).

In many case you have to insert CD in attached device only.

Good luck

@Mawuena for that I guess you need to include the "user" directive in the 4th field  (mount options) in the fstab :   from man fstab 

Try that if it works like this : 

UUID=<xyzabc>             /media          iso<xxx>     ro,user,auto  0 0
