Hello!, I need to use VMware Remote Console in 15.3 with KDE with users that don't hold root password. Currently kdesu asks for the root password while launching it, if I cancel the prompt it starts fine so I assume it's related to optional features like USB devices access. The users accessing this machine cannot be given root, I can setup sudo at most if needed. Reading around found some references to polkit (I'm clueless about it) and changing the "elevation" method for kdesu from su to sudo in a user profile (I need it system wide). Can anyone provide some guidance on the best way to solve this? Regards, CI.-
Hello,
To illustrate it better, I'm attaching a screenshot of the prompt I
would like to avoid, or at least to move to sudoers delegation instead
of using root password.
Regards,
CI.-

For the record, it was solved for me with polkit (nor kdesu or sudoers
related). Seems to be related to remote GUI connections (I'm using
XRDP):
cat >> /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/03-allow-pcscd.rules <
