Title:
  Not possible to choose which admin should enter password

Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Environment Ubuntu 20.04 fully upgraded.

  Pretty low likelihood but if a system has more than one admin, when a
  user (admin or not) needs to perform an action that require
  administration permission a pop up cames on and require a password for
  a specific admin user, usually the first historically created, and
  it's not possible to choose another admin, a couple of examples.

  1 - I would like to create a new admin and get rid of the old one, see 
attachment
  I downloaded a pre-cooked ubuntu version to test it
  - as osboxes.org I created user Luca (admin)
  - logout and login as Luca
  - open settings and get rid of osboxes.org

  Expected: the window should ask password for my user, since I'm admin, or 
should let me choose which admin should enter the password to confirm
  Actual: the window ask me for osboxes.org password, no chance to change user

  2 - Use case see in office - A computer has 1 normal account and 2 admins 
account
  This person have not admin priviledges so that to make some actions is 
require to enter admin password. Two admins are me (Luca) and an other one (Ale)
  Sometimes happens that if system ask for a specific user, and user is not in 
the office is not possible to proceed this way.

  Of course no issue in acting via command line for every action, but
  it's a bad UX and somtimes could happen in a worst situation.
