Automount USB HDD ownership (feddit.de)

I'm on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid. But for some reason, it is mounted as root and not with the owner set to the currently logged in user. For that reason, I can't create new directory's on this HDD, after I attached this to the laptop.

I can only switch to root, create the folder and change ownership of this new folder to the currently logged in user.

Is there any way to automount the USB hdd/stick with ownership of the currently logged in user?

It's a good use case for groups, mounted as that group and the users who need it being in that group.
