It was previously named PolicyKit. . It is a framework for centralizing the decision making process with respect to granting access to privileged operations for unprivileged (desktop) applications. . In a typical use of polkit, an unprivileged application such as gnome-disks sends requests via D-Bus or other inter-process communication mechanisms to a privileged system service such as udisks, which asks polkitd for permission to process those requests. This allows the application to carry out privileged tasks without making use of setuid, which avoids several common sources of security vulnerabilities. . This package provides the polkitd D-Bus service and supporting programs. The pkexec program is not included, and can be found in the pkexec package.

It was previously named PolicyKit. . pkexec is a setuid program to allow certain users to run commands as root or as a different user, similar to sudo. Unlike sudo, it carries out authentication and authorization by sending a request to polkit, so it uses desktop environments' familiar prompting mechanisms for authentication and uses polkit policies for authorization decisions. . By default, members of the 'sudo' Unix group can use pkexec to run any command after authenticating. The authorization rules can be changed by the local system administrator. . If this functionality is not required, removing the pkexec package will reduce security risk by removing a setuid program.
