Everything (pendrives and harddrive partitions) shows up on Thunar and I can automount then by clicking and entering my password (btw is there a way to do it without asking for a password?). However, I can't access my DVD drive

| Are you able to access the DVD drive using any other utilities? Does the 'eject' command work for you? |

Groups shouldn't really matter.
Important initial question: are you under systemd ? |

A quick test, you may want to do, is in command line, see if you are able to access the dvd drive (after mounted) as root or through sudo. If you are, then it's more of just access permissions. In my fstab, I have this line in my fstab, which allows me to access my dvd drive as a user. The key part of it, is having that "user" option, which tells fstab that the user is also allowed to mount that item.

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
