I've seen in cauldron, too, that some tools that could be started as user in the past, after which the root password was asked, did now not start as user at all.

I cannot check now whether this is still wrong, last time I hit it was ± a week ago.

I fail to reproduce this.
Anyway, auth is handled by polkit

Comment 8 Marja Van Waes 2016-01-24 21:20:45 CET
It works fine now, here, too.

Could the "Error executing command as another user: Not authorized" error" also have been caused by a crashing authentication pop-up? Wondering because just closing the pop-up results in that error, too.

@ Ben

Does it work fine for you again, too, now?
