How to allow users to mount windows shares
Our company uses both Windows and Linux. Each user has access to many Windows Shares, e.g. \machine1A, \machine2B, etc.
In Ubuntu, how to allow non-root users accessing those shares?
Is there a way to access those without mounting?
If mounting is required, how to allow non-root users to mount network shares to their home folders? They should be able to mount \machine1A to /home/user/somefolder/ but cannot change the mounting of local drives.

Usually you install Samba on the client machine. Then, the user selects "connect to server" and uses the urismb://<server_name>. Also see questions like How to connect to smb://…? and How do I connect to an SMB share requiring a user name and password?

Typically this is done by adding the setting user to the /etc/fstab entry which defines the mount points.
Further reading:
mount(8)
Normally, only the superuser can mount filesystems. However,
whenfstabcontains theuseroption on a line, anybody can
mount the corresponding filesystem.
fstab(5)
The fourth field (fs_mntops).
This field describes the mount options associated with the
filesystem.
It is formatted as a comma-separated list of options. It
contains at least the type of mount (ro or rw), plus any
additional options appropriate to the filesystem type
(including performance-tuning options). For details, see
mount(8) or swapon(8).
Basic filesystem-independent options are:
defaults
use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser,
and async.
noauto do not mount when "mount -a" is given (e.g., at boot
time)
user allow a user to mount
