The docs are attrocious which doesn't help, even the online ones.

They seem to be using polkit because it adds fine grained control
though this only seems to apply to developers not end users or admins.
Of course they could just tie into an RBAC or selinux. Udisks/polkit
could certainly take some lessons on ease of use from Grsecurities RBAC
with configuration in a single file and that's saying something
considering RBACS biggest draw backs are said to be difficulty of
implementation.

Anyone know how to permit a certain user to unmount certain mount
points or device files without fstab as my method has been broken and
the expected methods seem to fail.
