8.2  Mounting an NTFS Partition

https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/html/book.opensuse.startup/cha.fuse.html#sec.fuse.ntfs

NTFS cannot be mounted by unpriviledged user because:

> ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 tt
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged

Either the documentation or openSuSE should change.
In my opinion, It would be safer to make openSuSE mount NTFS and ordinary user;
Perhaps having special group membership requirement .....

Hope it helps, Tomas
