Re: [PATCH libreport] dbus: Allow admins to load problems without a password

[Michael Catanzaro]

So I know I REALLY shouldn't comment on patches late at night so I hope 
what I'm about to say isn't stupid... but surely that allows *anyone* 
to read the reports without a password, no? I don't think polkit has 
any proper way to do what you want to do. We should really change that, 
but in the meantime, you have to do it in js, like gnome-control-center 
does. Something like this:

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
        if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.whatever" &&
            subject.local &&
            subject.active &&
           // Doesn't work at all for Debian/Ubuntu which uses "admin" 
not "wheel"
           // And openSUSE just deletes these js rules once they're 
discovered
           // And the polkit documentation is pretty clear you should 
not use them
            subject.isInGroup ("wheel")) {
                    return polkit.Result.YES;
            }
});
