SD card mounted automatically /media/root

Hi all,

I have an SD card in ext4 format to be able to use it with timeshift. I leave it all the time in its slot. When the laptop boots the card is automatically mounted to /media/root. As a result, I cannot use it as a normal user, for example to make some backups.
If I unmount it (via the devices icon in the tray, giving the sudo password), remove it and reinsert it, the same icon in the tray allows me to open it with Dolphin.

I would like it to be automatically mounted at boot time in such a way that any user would be able to access it and to umount it. Is it possible?

Here is the line relating to my card in mtab:

$ cat /etc/mtab
(...)
/dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/root/d4da2a9b-45ca-4abc-8380-82d005d2afa9 ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0

Nothing about my SD card in /etc/fstab and I suppose I should add a line like this one, but I don't know what would be appropriate options:

UUID=d4da2a9b-45ca-4abc-8380-82d005d2afa9 /media/sdcard ext4 rw,noatime... 0 0

Thanks for your attention.
