POLKITD(8)polkitdPOLKITD(8)NAMEpolkitd - The polkit system daemon
SYNOPSISpolkitdDESCRIPTIONpolkitd provides the org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 D-Bus service on the
system message bus. Users or administrators should never need to start
this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1) or
systemd(1) whenever an application calls into the service.
polkitd must be started with superuser privileges but drops privileges
early by switching to the unprivileged polkitd system user.
See the polkit(8) man page for more information.
