Description

PolkitAuthority is used for checking whether a given subject is authorized to perform a given action. Typically privileged system daemons or suid helpers will use this when handling requests from untrusted clients.

User sessions can register an authentication agent with the authority. This is used for requests from untrusted clients where system policy requires that the user needs to acknowledge (through proving he is the user or the administrator) a given action. See PolkitAgentListener and PolkitAgentSession for details.

PolkitAuthority

typedef struct _PolkitAuthority PolkitAuthority;

The PolkitAuthority struct should not be accessed directly.


enum PolkitAuthorityFeatures

  POLKIT_AUTHORITY_FEATURES_LOCKDOWN                = (1<<1)
} PolkitAuthorityFeatures;

Flags describing features supported by the Authority implementation.

POLKIT_AUTHORITY_FEATURES_NONE

No flags set.
