I think we have different 2 use cases:
1. "Normal" users where the distri does not offer a recent GnuCash. They
should install from FlatHub ideally with their usually software
management tool [--system, the default].
2. Translators and bug reporters, who want verify their recently merged
translation or a bugfix. They want to install a nightly from
code.gnucash.orgy. According
https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html#system-versus-user
I would suggest to use the --user option here.

I have just tested: flatpak is smart enough to pop up an
authentification dialog while running 'flatpak update'. So it is a
matter of taste.
It also runs first the --system update and then asks to continue with
the --user update.
Is anybody around to make it clearer in our wiki page?
