Ownership of automounted devices is a different (though related) issue.

I think the current behaviour is correct. I do not think letting the
second logged in user unmounting the devices automounted in the first
session would be great: imagine the first user was working on files from
an USB stick, what would happen if the second user umounts this USB
stick?
