Using Debian Squeeze

I don't use automount, but have been thinking about installing it for
some time. Question:

- At the moment if I mount a USB then I have to be root. Is there a way (what
  do I need to do?) to be able to mount as myself? ie no automount but I
  would need to enter the mount command in a terminal?

- How does automount work? (can anyone recommend a dummies-guide link?)
