Modifying Configuration Files for Explicit Privileges
Explicit privileges can be set in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf. This con-
figuration file is written in XML using the PolicyKit DTD. The file that is shipped with
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop already contains the necessary headers and the root
element <config>. Place your edits inside the <config> tags.
