It runs a graphical version of sudo. So just like the CLI sudo, if you were prompted in the last five minutes or so, then it won't ask again.

That's why I asked
A couple of days ago I noticed it ran without prompting, but couldn't remember for sure if I had used sudo recently. So this time I made sure of it.
Besides, each invocation of sudo is locked to a particular process, isn't it? So if I use it in a terminal, close that and open a new terminal, I don't still have it. Is the graphical version different, and bound to the desktop environment? --

Did you tell it to remember the pass word in the
local vault (or whatever the keyring is now called)
If so, once you unlock that keyring, its a done deal. |

Hmm ... didn't notice that
It's possible there was an option, but I didn't notice it. So it's possible either it was defaulted to checked, or I was still typing when the window took focus and I accidentally clicked it.

Change your password on the CLI
Next time it needs it, it'll be wrong and it'll force it to prompt for it.
