Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "polkit_authority_get_type ()" ) ]
public class Authority : Object, AsyncInitable, Initable

Authority 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.
