Does any app which asks for permission to elevate to root work?

You might have to translate the names to what Fedora reposi provide. But this should be a good start
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nice catch, lxpolkit works for me.
Seems like you have a permissions issue. I just tested it on Fedora workstation gnome, run it from regular menu, then it asked me for password. You, you have a permission denied isssue, so you need to figure out how to run it as root.
Yep, that seems to be it. lxpolkit worked for me.
Do you have something like polkit-gnome
installed?
Edit: Glad you found a solution. Just for completeness: You also have to start the polkit agent via your sway config file. For polkit-gnome it would have been
exec /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
polkit-gnome is not available in dnf. I did install polkit-kde, polkit-qt and mate-polkit to see if it works. Same problem, sadly
Might have to reboot for the polkit agent to be started.
Nope, rebooting doesn't do anything
