"sudo access" is not really the right term.
We ask the udisks2 system service (running as root) through a DBus call to open the device for us, and pass us the file descriptor.
In most cases that DBus call will indeed prompt for password (whether it does depends on the system's policykit settings).
At no point does the Imager program itself run privileged under Linux and OSX.
(On Windows it does run privileged. But ideally that should be fixed as well, as it comes with downsides. Like that in some cases it cannot access .img files that the normal user do can access. E.g. if they are on a network share that normal user can access, but admin cannot).

Yeah, I suspected it probably wasn't the right term, but hopefully you knew what I meant 😉
