Summary0007697: Allow setting of IFPkgFlagAuthorizationAction for OSX DMG packages
DescriptionIFPkgFlagAuthorizationAction is set to AdminAuthorization by default. As a result, the user is always prompted for a password for a DMG package, even when you install a package into /Applications/ or the user's $HOME where administrator rights aren't needed and the prompting for a password seems suspicious.

It would be nice if we had something like @CPACK_PACKAGE_ADMIN_INSTALL@ which did this and could also possibly be used for NSIS UAC handling on Vista.

If you guys don't see this as high priority I could probably write a patch to do so.

I did not realize that you could install without admin.

Yep, you can, I just think not in certain places, e.g. outside of /Applications or $HOME.

Hello, I would like to request a fix for this issue a well. We're using CPACK to build an installer for MacOS, and would like to run as a normal user. If a fix is not available, some pointers on what to patch would be appreciated.

Thanks!
