[SOLVED] Error message while trying to deactivate Bluetooth

Good Morning, I'm new in Artix Linux.

When trying to deactivating Bluetooth through the switch OFF/ON an error message will pop up saying:
""An error has ocurred
rfkill: cannot open /dev/rfkill: Permission denied

Permission issues can be solved with a udev rule for rfkill or membership in the "rfkill" group.""

How can I solve this? Because having Bluetooth enable all the time is pretty risky.

Are you using sudo rfkill rather than just rfkill?

Hello there! Thanks for the answer
I didn't know about that, but trying them both doesn't seem to solve the problem either, Bluetooth keeps being activated.
(I'm running runit)

As in, sudo rfkill block bluetooth.
