As noted by @rov9 , I also only get this message when running with sudo. When running normally (snap install ...), it prompts me for a password and the message doesn’t appear.
I’ve initially logged out and back in: no changes, then a full reboot: no changes. I’ve ran echo "$PATH" and verified /var/lib/snapd/snap/bin it is my path.
Update: I’ve also found this thread, it seems this has more to do with how secure_path works on Fedora and RHEL, than with Snap itself. You could try running sudo -E install ..., although that might not work. Alternatively you could run sudo --preserve-env=PATH snapp install ... (I haven’t tried these, since I’m using doas instead of sudo). But I am curious if this works for others, so let me know.
