Description Milan Crha 2023-07-17 07:02:45 UTC 
I did not setup 3rd-party repos in the gnome-initial-setup. When I start gnome-software I'm asked whether I want to enable 3rd-party repos, which I "Ignore" (it's a button in the dialog). After I press the button I'm greeted with an "Authentication is required to configure software repositories" with action `org.fedoraproject.thirdparty.opt-out`.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this password was not required in the past, but I did not set up a new Fedora for a long time.

My user is not in the `wheel` group, which may play its role on it, though I use this user all the time.

This is with fedora-third-party-0.10-4.fc38.noarch

Reproducible: Always
