            Bug ID: 444046
           Summary: Create with Elevated Privileges
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.08.2
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: martino at martinojones.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When in a directory where the user does not have permission, could we have the
ability to create a file/folder and Dolphin prompt for a password to execute
that task as root. Right now, if I want to create a new folder in /mnt, I have
to use the command line. It would be great if Dolphin had this capability
builtin. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to the mnt directory
2. Right-Click to try and create a folder
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
When right-clicking in a folder, there's no ability to elevate to root
privileges.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin determins user does not have permission, and instead the option
displays 
Create New (elevated)>
