Well, gnome-disks does not make possible to define mount options without 
root password, as it saves them into /etc/fstab.

However udisks2 itself allows to define selected safe mount options 
without root privileges. (Well, the subset of safe mount options is 
incomplete, and does not allow e. g. time stamps time zone set.)

=> gnome-disks needs improvement

And additionally, the GUI is far from being user friendly. Instead of 
bare option names, there should pre-defined basic tasks:
- Define, how short names should be interpreted
- Define, how time stamps should be interpreted
...
