Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Reproduce the password prompt for “install updates” on Mint 22.1, then trace the package-management backend’s policy configuration and compare it with the prior Mint behavior. Done means a verified configuration or clear documentation for the requested behavior.

Description

i had done that before for Mint 22 and under, but my changes ceased to work with the new package management backend in 22.1.

how do i configure a policy so that "install updates" does not ask for a password on 22.1?

thank you!

PS.
please avoid bringing up security issues: you security needs are not the same as mine.
