Please disregard this post. I just added the primary user to several groups, 'root' included, and that sufficed to correct the problem. Thank you!

In my previous Fedora 24 installation, I had added my account to the 'wheel' group (during installation, if I remember correctly).

The problem with that was whenever I did anything that required administrator privileges, I'd be prompted with a password dialog, but it wouldn't say for which account. i.e. for root or for my username. What I understood that if you are a sudoer, then your own password is needed, otherwise the root password is needed. But I think the password prompt should explicitly specify whose password it wants.
