Hi, In FESCo ticket #1115, it was decided to modify the privilege escalation policy in order to allow local, active, admin user to update/remove/etc signed software without requiring a password. At this point, such an user can do "pkcon install <package>" to install packages without being prompted for the password. In FESCo ticket #1117, it was decided to extend this policy to potentially cover other privileged operations. At this point, "we" are looking for more use cases. Lot of such use cases are already listed on the following page, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Privilege_escalation_policy Here is a sample use case; ability to launch my own VMs using virt-manager without authenticating every time. Do *you* have a use case of your own? Here is your chance to get rid of those password prompts for your own use case! Please *note* that these policies can be modified locally (or disabled altogether) to fit different situations. An option to *specifically* enable or disable such privilege escalation policy can be given at the install time or / and run-time. Thoughts? Also *note* that the goal of this email (and the ticket in general) is to promote brainstorming at this point. I'm not saying or promising that "we" are going to do everything you guys demand. Some of you may find http://tinyurl.com/linus-printer to be relevant here.
