Hello,
I have just checked with my Mageia 7.
Updating is running without asking any password.
Thus I close the report. Reopen it if this is not the case for you.

To confirm the value has been saved, look for the line for drakrpm-update in ...

# cat /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/51-draksec.rules
// This file is written by draksec. Do not edit.
var drakToolAuth = function(tool){switch (tool){
case 'drakrpm-update': return polkit.Result.YES;

}return polkit.Result.NOT_HANDLED;};
