# Troubles

If there is trouble with permissions, then you need to create group `storage` and add your user to it. Then you need to update your Polkit or PolicyKit permissions like it shown [here: https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/wiki/Permissions](https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/wiki/Permissions)
