        @ziggutas Aha, hadn't noticed authentication had disappeared from Terminal app until now.
        Just re-read the OpenStore entries for Terminal and FM and they both now state "Full System Access" at the bottom!
        So there you have it!
        Thanks to everyone who contributed.

          @kugiigi Seems it's intentional and not a bug. See my previous post for explanation.

            'Full System Access' as a 'permission' does not mean that no authentication needs to be asked for elevated priveleges.

              @arubislander I see. Well I must say I was very comfortable with being asked for authentication for elevated priveleges. I wonder what the intention is for the future?

                    It is a bug.

                        @dtarrant I noticed the same on my phone:
                        (0) Both file manager and terminal grant full access without asking for a password. Some update must have brought this (last time I am sure it worked was in December). I suppose this is a bug, maybe in another component.

                        Here's what I observed:
                        (1) I used to have no system password / PIN on this phone, just the default, and both apps would ask to be unlocked. Now that I suddenly have full access without being asked,
                        (2) I set my own PIN and locked the screen. After unlocking, both apps work as expected, asking me to unlock. (Just setting a PIN without locking the screen had no effect on the apps. Of course, I closed each app before the next try.)
                        (3) Even after removing the PIN again (but not lock/unlock), they still keep asking and grant access upon entering the default PIN.
                        (4) after screen lock/unlock with a swipe, I am back to (0).
                        So I guess the bug is not in these two apps, but on a more basic level. The modus of file manager and terminal seems to depend on whether the screen has been unlocked with a PIN or a swipe before. Did others observe the same?

                            @adeliepenguin said in file manager authentication:

                            Yes. It is a bug resulting from the new Mir/Unity8 builds. Though I am not sure where exactly the issue is.

                              @dobey UT Tweak Tool is not affected, it still asks me for the default PIN

                                @dobey Does this bug affect all supported devices, or just Nexus 4 and BQ M10?

                                  @dtarrant Pretty sure it's all devices. Anything with rc, devel, or edge channel on it will have this issue.

                                    I'd like to point out that my Meizu Pro 5 on devel is not affected, while my BQ M10 FHD on rc is.
