What do you think of an ‘Unlock button’ like the one of the time-admin
app ?

The user open the permissions dialog. There is already a message “You
are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions.”. An ‘Unlock’
button give him the ability to bypass its user privileges to perform
permissions change as root.

I have made a mockup of what I think.
