I would like to request an additional “polkit” autoconnect for “factory-reset-tools”, which is a utility for Ubuntu-preinstalled PCs to build USB reset media and reboot into Factory Reset or UEFI firmware setup.
This feature is added in order to protect from unwanted reboot into factory reset partition or UEFI firmware setup from any non-admin account.
However, “polkit” interface does not provide one dbus interface access we want in order to authenticate in tty without sudo. I have a separate discussion here: Polkit interface and pkttyagent in snap
This does not change the fact that we need “polkit” interface to be autoconnected as it can still guard unauthenticated, or non-sudo calls to such function.
+1 from me too. I notice the PR has not been merged yet - to grant this the action-prefix needs to be encoded in the snap store declaration - can you confirm if this will be the one mentioned in the PR? Thanks.
This PR has been merged, however, the action-prefix is not encoded in the name of the interface. (if you mean I need to use polkit-com-canonical-oem-factoryresettools as interface name)
