Polkit is used for controlling system-wide privileges. It provides an organized way for non-privileged processes to communicate with privileged ones. In contrast to sudo, it does not grant root permission to an entire process, but rather allows a finer level of control of centralized system policy.

Polkit is enabled by default. If you wish to disable it, you can set `security.polkit.enable` to false.
