Hello!
The functionality of polkit rules checking and the appearance of a dialogue box is necessary in the situation when the rules are applied for informing corporate users not from the wheel group about formatting the device or writing an ISO to the device.

With a notification and YES/NO-buttons

This patch to avoid accidental data loss allows Linux UX look more like Windows UX in terms of formatting of USB-devices: it happens without password request, https://abf.io/ckumuhok/mintstick/blob/rosa2023.1/50-mintstick-allow-all.rules - this polkit rule is installed with a separate package.

If formatting and writing are permitted, a dialogue box will appear

I don't want to fix it.
I want to add functionality like Windows, with confirmation of actions.
I want the user to be able to format or burn an image without entering a password when applying a Polkit rule (https://abf.io/ckumuhok/mintstick/blob/rosa2023.1/50-mintstick-allow-all.rules).
I want a warning to appear when clicking the format or burn button, along with confirmation buttons for formatting the device and burning to the device.
