I think severity should be major, but I forgot to set it. Moved to kio-admin Hi - thanks for your bug report! I can basically reproduce this on Fedora KDE 41, although only for the case of using drag-and-drop and then choosing "Create Link". A .desktop file is created instead of the link, which functions in Dolphin's Act as Administrator mode, but isn't an actual symlink. Creating a symlink to a root-owned location does work by going to the location you intend to hold the link, and right-clicking > choosing Create New > Link to File or Directory.

Error from drag and drop
Oh, drag and drop also doesn't work for me. And it adds .desktop at the end of the path to source, lol. And the error message also looks weird. I attached a screenshot
There's also another issue, in admin mode "Copy path" copies the path with admin:// at the beginning, which also shouldn't happen I think, since I don't know in what way that can be useful to anyone.
