When calling rpm-ostree upgrade --check I'm asked for the root/admin password with an explanation "Authentication is required to update software`, but I'm not updating the software, I'm only checking what updates are available. It can modify some internal states, like the CachedUpdates, but, I think, it's not really needed to ask for the root/admin password in this case.
This applies also to the D-Bus interface.
Similarly when issuing AutomaticUpdateTrigger with mode=check over D-Bus.
Rationale: this provides bad user experience for the users of the gnome-software, because it's checked for updates shortly after the app is started (around a minute), thus after the user logs in. The sudden out of blue password prompt is disturbing and confusing.
