I did some digging and what you were using was polkit "localauthority", which is no longer used in Ubuntu 24.04.
It looks like you might be able to get this functionality back by installing the `polkit-pkla` package, but you'll probably need to migrate your configuration to a regular policykit configuration before the next Ubuntu LTS release or two.
