Second, if you are member of the desktop_admin_r group, then you should be allowed to do a lot of things without being interrupted by authentication dialogs. This part isn't complete, for now, it includes
org.gnome.clockapplet.mechanism.* - set timezone and system time org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.* - all storage related things org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1.* - run real-time processes
rtkit should be accessible for normal desktop users already. Please move this to desktop_user_r!
I am assuming that this makes only sense if the upstream policy files in the various packages are more strict by default than what is shopped in polkit-desktop-policy. Right?
So, for a package that has used console-based auth by default before (like rtkit), how should their upstream policy files be changed? How does console-based auth and this new role-based out fit together?
