pmount cant mount ntfs USB, while mount can

Question

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.1

$ pmount /dev/sda1

NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

but sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ works

How can I fix pmount or mount without root?
