Asks for root password

[TamasBarta]

I might misunderstand things, but my understanding is that polkit is for privilege escalation for the current user. This agent however doesn't accept my user's password, only the root password. I had root disabled, so it never worked for me, until I set a password for the root user. I'm certain this should not be the case.

(I installed hyprpolkitagent from the AUR)

I think that's how it works, do other polkit agents ask for the user password?

From my understanding, if user belongs to the group that is allowed to execute a particular command polkit agent will prompt for user password. If user doesn't belong to a group that is able to execute the command it asks for root password.

Edit: also it checks if user is able to perform the command without password prompt.

that does not answer my question

I used the KDE and Gnome agents before, and I was never asked for root password, only for my own. I was always in the ˋwheelˋ group (on Arch), if that makes a difference. Since I don't want my root account to have a password, I went back to the KDE agent for now, and that is asking for my user password.

odd.
