PolicyKit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the
|
||
|
|
policy that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes:
|
||
|
|
It is a framework for centralizing the decision making process with respect
|
||
|
|
to granting access to privileged operations for unprivileged applications.
|
||
|
|
PolicyKit is specifically targeting applications in rich desktop environments
|
||
|
|
on multi-user UNIX-like operating systems. It does not imply or rely on any
|
||
|
|
exotic kernel features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package provides a D-Bus session bus service for bringing up
|
||
|
|
authentication dialogs used for obtaining privileges.
