OpenSuSE MicroOS - KDE Discover asking for User/Admin-Password by running Updates (again and again...)

If you get any policykit issue, by running some software updates over Discover at KDE, even when system patches will be installed, the default installation of OpenSUSE Micro is missing the wheel group, which gots checked by policykit.

I dont recommend to modify / add any rules to policykit, so if you dont want be asked again and again for the user password, simply add the wheel group and your users to that group!

groupadd wheel
usermod -aG wheel username

This will fix the discover software management issue with policykit.

Don't mix that wheel group permission with the sudo group wheel. IT dont have to be used, together - to get it work!

Please remember, that users with group wheel gots the admin permission for policykit tasks at discover software updates!

Easy. Thats it!

Have a lot of Fun with OpenSuSE MicroOS!
