The problem is that `systemctl edit` only uses D-Bus calls for reloading systemd; it still manages the unit files directly. For now, use directory ACLs. Thanks, that's what I ended up doing. I created a new group, sd-managers, and gave the group rwX access to the systemd directories via ACLs. Now it works as expected, thanks! --Chris ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel

[systemd-devel] systemctl edit via polkit results in access denied
Hello, I have configured polkit to allow my user to manage basically everything in systemd without requiring sudo or root. Enabling, disabling, reloading, etc all work as expected. However, 'systemctl edit' does not. It does not deny permission for me to use the function, but it fails when trying to copy the file to a temporary directory: $ systemctl edit rngd.service Failed to create directories for "/etc/systemd/system/rngd.service.d/override.conf": Permission denied Is there a way for polkit to correct or temporarily override these permissions? Or should I use ACLs to grant write permission to my user for those directories? Thanks!
