No, adding someone to the disk group is NOT the proper way. If I were a
member of that group I could by mistake wipe entire disks with any
command that would write to the device file of the disk / partition even
without the use of sudo. The permissions for access to files on the disk
MUST be handled by the kernel after mounting the partition.
