Is that possible ?
Thanks

You need to create a polkit rule that allows authentication without password. I will see if I can send an example your way sometime this comming week.
@KaKi87
I have examples in the repo I linked
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if action.id == "org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update" {
if subject.isInGroup("wheel") {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
}
});
Please ask KDE Neon devs, if placing this rule as /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/packagekit-update.rules is safe
I don’t have a rules.d directory at /etc/polkit-1/ though, I only have localauthority and localauthority.conf.d.
Should I create the directory then create the file ?
Thanks
@KaKi87
Yes.

Yes create the directory. This is a standard directory but KDE Neon may not use it. Also you need to place that policy there and reload the polkit daemon (no idea how to do that, just reboot lol).
And as I said, if the admin password window shows, use the “show details” button at the left to get the ID of the polkit action.
KDE is a very empowering Desktop!
