How do I suppress auth requests for PackageKit, just like in F12, or the NOPASSWD directive in sudo?

Reading the documentation might help. 


I tried. I'm obviously not smart enough, but thanks for the condescension. It always helps. 





In pklocalauthority(8), you'll 
find the following about /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d: 
Only a single key, AdminIdentities is read. 
Your other entries (Action, Result...) belong into .pkla files in 
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority.

The group desktop_admin_r (and desktop_user_r) is defined in the 
polkit-desktop-policy package. 



$ rpm -ql polkit-desktop-policy 
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/60-desktop-policy.conf 
/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/10-desktop-policy.pkla 


Nothing in both of those files looks like it's being defined. I trust your evidently superior judgement that it is, but it doesn't look like it.
