Allow normal users to start a scan #723

Description

@xxxserxxx

This is new behavior, introduced in 2376c61 (Thu Jun 4 17:02:31 2026). It breaks functionality in clients which previously allowed users to initiate scans.

There is no work around to restore backwards compatibility. Possible options could be:

  • Allow users to be marked as having admin permissions. This is the least desirable option, as it would over-permission users just to restore a previous feature
  • Add a flag, e.g., "--allow-scanning", which reverts to the old behavior
  • Revert 2376c61

While I'm curious as to why this feature was restricted, I'm more interested in a way to re-enable the previous behavior.
