How can I allow an unprivileged user to access a thumb drive - school setting

Asked by Wayne_Bow in Mac OS 10.3 (Panther), Apple Operating Systems, Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar)

Tags: Apple, OSX, multiple, USB external drive access

Aloha,

I support a school that uses primarily Apple-based computers running various versions of OSX. One of the annoyances for our Computer teacher is that the students can't plug in and access USB thumbdrives because they do not have (nor do we want to give) administrative privileges on the machines.  

Is there any way that I can allow them to access a USB drive? Is that a huge security risk?

Thanks!
