+			PolicyKit is to provide a consistent way for user applications to gain
+			extra privileges, e.g. for administrative applications.

+			Using PolicyKit, Administrators can now configure system-wide settings.
+			For example, you may allow some user to adjust the date and time of the
+			clock or you might grant specific users the ability to start and stop
+			system services.

+			For users, control panels now feature unlock buttons next to settings they
