Blueman requires authentication twice when logging into account
When I log into my user account Blueman asks twice for authentication. First with the message "Networking requires privileges" and then with the message "Setting Rf Kill State requires privileges".
I'm trying to find a way to have my user authenticated by default, which I'm assuming can be done by adding the user to some group, but I cannot seem to find which one. "lp" group was suggested by some posts, but my user is added to that one and the double authentication (triple, if you count the original login to the user account) persists.
An option could always be to deactivate authentication for Blueman entirely and for all users, but I would prefer to avoid that.
Been there.
Add yourself to "wheel" group. Probably you've already did that for other reason.
Then create new file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/81-blueman.rules with follwing content:

Few days ago I have upgraded from 4.19.0-10 to 4.19.0-16 and suddenly the same problem has appeared.
After some googling and browsing through config files I have discovered that the problem can be solved by
adding the user to: "netdev" group.
