Yes - piling on here - AFAIK, security is neither allowed or not-allowed by Dolphin. The ownership and permissions of the file system and mount point(s) are in control of that, and admittedly a few other things depending on how your system is configured. Like PAM, udev, fstab, etc.

A user ,,,,or any one can access a drive in Dolphin as long as the "others: may view" bit is set ,,,,,,,,,if this is set "forbidden" ,,,,,then only the owner or group: can see

Why do you think this is a security problem? IF the selected partitions mount, then they are owned by your user. They are, yes? If your are worried, test this by creating a new user. Log in as that user and attempt to access the partition(s) in question.

How to prevent Dolphin's mounting unmounted partitions
I have some partitions with the same names as others and so sometimes pick the wrong on in Dolphin, which mounts it anyway. Seems to me this is a security problem. In order to use the mount command to do that, I have to use sudo.
How can I stop Dolphin from doing that?
Thanks in advance.
