Unable to save User settings in KDE Plasma 5

I just installed KDE Plasma 5 on my new Arch install and I'm having trouble configuring my account settings such as image, full name, and email address.  After I change them to the values I want and click "Apply", I am not prompted for my password and get an error message instead as shown in the screenshot below.  The second image shows the various software versions.

CoC - Pasting pictures and code

This appears to be an issue with a polkit/accountsservice. I don't know anything else, but you're not alone.

Your user needs to have admin rights, which by polkit defaults are users in the wheel group. If that's not the case for your user either fix that or see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit … identities
