The only time it asks for an admin password is enabling and disabling the firewall. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. install plasma-firewall base ufw 2. use non-admin account to run settings 3. try adding firewall rule or and any admin required task OBSERVED RESULT cant change anything EXPECTED RESULT get a popup asking for admin password then firewall rule added SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.18-1-MANJARO OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hi, it isn't a bug, it's how the app is designed, it retains the session (password) for a few minutes or until user logout (it depends on if the authentication was made through polkit). Most of the main distros use polkit nowadays, probably the cache retention should be for something close to 15 minutes.
