I have to say, that you can click Ignore, and the next prompt asks for the user password instead, and that succeeds. I was able to do disk modifications that way.
We don't use sudo, we use polkit. Group or which user you need to be generally depends on your polkit configuration in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d, so that's mostly outside the scope of partition manager. partitionmanager asks polkit for auth_admin_keep option. And if distro does not have root user I think it's up to distro to correctly configure polkit.
