SUMMARY
Request to allow unprivileged users to view/modify partitions on devices that
are unprivileged (typically thumb drives), as happens on other
OSs/environments.

2. Cancel root password request
OBSERVED RESULT

- Error message saying “Partition Manager requires privileges in order to work”
EXPECTED RESULT
- Devices such as thumb drives are displayed and modifiable

access system partitions”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was unable to determine whether this was by design or not. I think having a
different tool for this would be overkill?
