It has to do with pam.
You should be able to use cdrecord from the cli if you are the first
user logged into the console - I usually don't because my burner is on a
headless machine where I can't log directly - but that certainly was the
difference in the past.

cat /var/run/console/console.lock

That user should (at least in the past) be able to use cdrecord
directly.
