Yes, you can perform this particular task by using Group Policy here you go with two methods followed by complete article for your understanding from Microsoft.

 

The policy settings can be found in two locations. The policy settings found in Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\System\\Removable Storage Access affect a computer and every user who logs on to it.

 

The policy settings found in User Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\System\\Removable Storage Access affect only the users to whom the policy setting is applied, including groups if Group Policy is applied using Active Directory.

 

 

I think in your case2nd user base policy will be used.
