πŸ’– PKLOCALAUTHORITY(8) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for pklocalauthority β€” that's the polkit Local Authority Compatibility situation, and we're gonna talk about it πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

pklocalauthority β€” polkit Local Authority Compatibility πŸ¦‹


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea, and it's a little sad ngl: the polkit Local Authority? it doesn't exist anymore πŸ’€ periodt, gone, no cap.

BUT β€” and this is the important part β€” your existing configuration files are still honored 🫢 like they're not abandoned, they're still getting the love. if you wanna know what the configuration format actually looks like, go check out pkla-admin-identities(8) and pkla-check-authorization(8), they've got the whole description laid out for you ✨

🚨 okay now the big caveat, pay attention bestie: unlike the original Local Authority implementation, ReturnValue keys are ignored β€” because polkit(8) literally no longer supports that functionality. so if you were counting on ReturnValue, she's not coming to the function, iykyk 😭
