Description

Administrative prompts on AeroShell desktops can use a User Account Control-style Polkit authenticator. This git package installs a session agent for approving privileged actions.

Run it only as part of a trusted desktop session. Polkit agents ask for credentials and authorize system changes, so spoofed dialogs or untrusted builds are security risks.

How to run

uac-polkit-agent

Commands: uac-polkit-agent
