On Debian’s website it is saying to write the image to the USB stick I should use a bash script "# cp Debian.iso /dev/sdX
sync"
Is there another way to do this without using root access?

It is possible to format removable drives without root access through udisks2, e.g with gnome-disks or KDE ISO image writer. GNOME Impression is another tool that should work.
those still require root, they just don’t explicitly say so. They still pop up with a password prompt
They show no password prompt for the user with the “active” session for removable drives. Only system drives always require admin auth for formatting and partitioning. Maybe your session setup is not completely correct so your user session is not marked as the active session or you tried it with a drive that is considered a system drive.
