I am a new Fedora user. I have been watching what you were saying.I think that that order you are talking about appears in /user/share/polkit-1/rules.d/org.freedesktop.packagekit.rules.
I hope this will help.
It's /usr, not /user.
More information about that in the PolicyKit documentation.
Anyway, this is the better answer than my one.
Edit 3: @ElCanario's answer is providing a better solution.
Edit 2: Don't do this. See Florian's comment below.
Edit: This will remove the user from the wheel group, stopping updates without using a password. After that a reboot is required. Now the user should be able to still install software after being prompted his/her password, but I have not tested this. I am not sure you really want to remove yourself from group wheel.
A solution for removing the user from group wheel is being provided at StackExchange:
# gpasswd -d user group
in your example:
# gpasswd -d markusam wheel
If you are very careful, you may remove the username from the line starting with wheel:x: in /etc/group. Be sure to make a backup and not change anything else.
Edit: Removing the user from the wheel group may have other implications too. You may e.g. loose access to the system journal.
Hi. I think you misunderstand him. He asked how to make user (which is already existing in wheel group) to be asked for sudo password when try to install from software center while she/he still remain in wheel group
But you ask him, instead, to remove user from wheel group ! Isn't it ?
Since the user should still be in the sudoers file, he/she should still be able to install updates through sudo. I haven't checked that thoug, so I may be wrong.
