# zbus_polkit
[](https://docs.rs/zbus_polkit/) [](https://crates.io/crates/zbus_polkit)
A crate to interact with [PolicyKit], a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations. It is used
for allowing unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
**Status:** Stable.
#### Example code
```rust,no_run
use zbus::Connection;
use zbus_polkit::policykit1::*;
// Although we use `async-std` here, you can use any async runtime of choice.
#[async_std::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let connection = Connection::system().await?;
let proxy = AuthorityProxy::new(&connection).await?;
let subject = Subject::new_for_owner(std::process::id(), None, None)?;
let result = proxy.check_authorization(
&subject,
"org.zbus.BeAwesome",
&std::collections::HashMap::new(),
CheckAuthorizationFlags::AllowUserInteraction.into(),
"",
).await?;
Ok(())
}
```
