Yeah, it's probably a good idea to ask for an administrator to
authenticate to do this. With mainline Fedora this would be asking for
the root password; for other spins it might asking a user in e.g.
'wheel' to authenticate.
which reminds me. wouldn't it make sense to at UGROUPS=wheel to our
/etc/security/console.apps/ files? The functionality has been around
for years now
and never used because it was getting replaced.
