SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Create a new Flatpak installation path:

`sudo mkdir -p /home/shared/flatpak`

2. Create config for this path new installation path.

`sudoedit /etc/flatpak/installations.d/extra.conf`:
[Installation "extra"]
Path=/home/shared/flatpak/
DisplayName=Extra Installation
StorageType=harddisk

3. Add a Flatpak remote to this path.

`sudo flatpak --installation=extra remote-add flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`
`sudo systemctl restart flatpak-system-helper`

4. Install any package from this new Flatpak remote.

5. The installed package won't show up in "Flatpak Permissions" inside the System Setttings app

All Flatpaks that are listed using `flatpak list` must show up in the "Flatpak Permissions" window.
