Type 'groups' to see what groups you are part of, if there is no 'cd-rom' then 
su to root and:

cat /etc/group | grep cd-rom 

to see if there is a 'cd-rom' group, if not, from root create the group:

groupadd cd-rom

then give add your user to the new group 'cd-rom', as well as it's previous 
groups (from root):

usermod -G prevgroups,cd-rom username

Replace prevgroups with your user's previous groups, and username with your 
username.

Now relogin the user - type groups to make sure you are now part of the 'cd-
rom' group and you're away.
