NAME
       polkitd - The polkit system daemon

SYNOPSIS

       polkitd

DESCRIPTION
       polkitd 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 may be configured via the polkitd.conf(5) configuration file.

       polkitd can be started as the polkitd system user directly, or alternatively it can be started with superuser
       privileges in which case it will drop privileges early by switching to that same system user.

       See the polkit(8) man page for more information.
