Public bug reported:

snapd is already running with elevated privileges as a system service,
but requires logging in with U1 credentials (or using sudo) to install
local snap packages. This is a regression from click which integrated
with packagekit to allow installing local packages without root, or
authenticating to U1.

As snapd is already running with necessary privileges it should be
possible to allow installing local snaps without requiring U1 or root.
This limitation makes it significantly more difficult to integrate snap
support into the current user experience under Unity 8, and on
phone/tablet devices.
