Issue Obsidian suddenly needs system user for updates

ItsDan

New Pleskian
I have a handful of servers on Digital Ocean that I've been updating to the latest release but a few are asking for system user credentials to install the updates. In the past it's simply logged me in if I was already logged into the plesk admin panel. I'm wonder what may have changed and if I can restore the previous functionality where it I guess either didn't need them or stored the credentials. Oddly in some panels the updater UI doesn't want to load and just hangs. Not sure what changed suddenly.
