How can I silently upgrade macOS from intel (Rosetta) process?

I know I can use --stdinpass or --passprompt:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --agreetolicense --forcequitapps --passprompt

but I want to install without password like I did on Mac Intel.

How can I make it work? or is there another way to silently install macOS patch?

This sentence makes no sense to me, like a non sequitur...

"I have an app with admin privileges running on M1 with Rosetta and I'm trying to silently upgrade the macOS."

Well you are not running on Intel. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work.

The installer is a Universal app...

Is this your Mac?

Are you admin?

and why not simple authenticate using your admin passwd...

You can try,—and report back your success or failure, copy and paste:

sudo softwareupdate -i -a -R

for example, I tried to run an upgrade command from Terminal running on Intel (Rosetta)

The command I run is:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --agreetolicense –nointeraction --forcequitapps

and I got the following error:

I don't get it .... why are you trying to involve Rosetta on a M1

What are you trying to do upgrade the macOS...

The current stable release of Monterey including bug fixes, is macOS 12.5.1

If you downloaded the full installer, then it is sitting in your Applications folder—launch it like an other application from there.

an agent?

It seems if this remote mac being managed by some Enterprise/MDM/active directory list (?) I suspect you will still need to authenticate the process locally with a password or talk to your IT for advise.

When you activate the OS, the Mac will check with Apple activation servers and if it is a corporate owned device, it will flag you to enter the admin/IT/user credentials in order to finish.

if you think it should be some other way—
