I looked at the policy used by PackageKit. I believe gnome-software uses
it as a backend, so can you try installing something that is
specifically not a snap?

At this point, all snapd does is ask PolicyKit whether given the policy,
the user can install a package. PolicyKit responds with yes, therefore
the installation can proceed. There's not much we can do inside the
declared policy, as the defaults are fine IMO.

>From my perspective, this should likely be investigated by someone more
familiar with PolicyKit to find out why it's treating your user as
admin.
