Bug ID: 433374
Summary: PolicyKit doesn't show the user it ask for a password
for
Product: policykit-kde-agent-1
Version: 5.21.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Which user is this password for?
SUMMARY
I was trying to save a file from Kate in a directory in which the user Kate
runs as, has no write permissions. At that point, the PolicyKit dialog popped
up, asking for root privileges. That was confusing, because
* that user does not have root privileges
* the password PolicyKit was asking for, was the password for my main user, not
the one Kate was running as
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login as user `one`
2. Run Kate as user `two`
3. Save a file in a directory in which user `two` does not have write access
