I don't have the rep yet to be able to comment on the existing post, so I'm forced to make a new post. Apologies.

GOAL: To be able to mount USB drives on boot without loading the GUI to be used for automated backups, etc.

I cannot use udisksctl mount -b /dev/sda1 --no-user-interaction with my current user because I get the error:

Error mounting /dev/sda1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.NotAuthorizedCanObtain: Not authorized to perform operation

Searching this forum, I found this answer to the same question: https://askubuntu.com/a/1504550/1769048

But this does not work for me on 22.04. After I create the 10-udisks.pkla file, even after a reboot, I get the same error. Is there something else I need to do to make this work?

Contents of my pkla file:

[Allow Mounting From User Cron]
Identity=unix-user:<redacted>
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount
ResultAny=yes

UPDATE: I've gone back to just using the drive's UUID in an fstab mount which is working fine. But for the sake of learning, I would love to know how to make this work using udisksctl.
