Privileges prompts for reason immediately after logging into a Mac

[mthielemann]

Please let me know if this should be created as a separate topic as I've seen this happen prior to 2.2 as well.
When logging into a Mac that has Sequoia installed (15.3), I often see Privileges immediately prompt me to supply Reasoning so that it can try to elevate my rights - even though I had not yet told it to do so. I tell it to cancel, and all is fine going forward until I logout, and log back in the next morning.

My configuration profile is below - redacted to protect $org data.

@tonyyo11 Could you please explain what exactly happened? Do you shut down your Mac and the message appears after reboot? Does it happen for all users or just for specific users? The thing is that Privileges does not launch automatically so I wonder if you have it probably running all the time. Then the above dialog would show up as soon as your privileges have expired.

Major apoligies.. Please feel free to close this.
While trying to take a recording of the issue, I was able to realize what was happening. Privileges found its way to the "Open at Login" functionality within System Settings. I watched as the application icon on the dock began bouncing just like my other apps that open at login, and that's what gave it away as the culprit. I am unsure how because I have not told it to do so manually (that I remember). I have at least one other user who has reported similar behavior, and I will check with their system and remove Privileges from "Open at Login."
Just needed to open a ticket and write things down to figure out my own problems. Thanks

Happy to see that it works now.
