It turns out this message is totally wrong.

It should just say "check your device for a permissions confirmation
screen."

(And no the user is not always online to be able to access web explanations.)

I don't see why this bug report should be RC.
adb works just fine here.

Btw, group plugdev should not be used anymore nowadays.
If you need device access permissions, use "uaccess"
