# lxqt-policykit-agent(1)

Polkit agent for the LXQt desktop environment

## NAME

lxqt-policykit-agent - Polkit agent for the **LXQt** desktop environment

## SYNOPSIS

**lxqt-policykit-agent**\

## DESCRIPTION

This module manages PolicyKit for **LXQt**. The authentication agent ensures that the session user verifies their identity by authenticating either as themselves or as an administrator.

The **LXQt modules** are desktop independent tools and operate as daemons for the local user for desktop specific operations.

## BEHAVIOR

The module detects privilege escalation on shared resources and presents a security dialog requesting the user's password to proceed with the action.

## AUTOSTART

The module is only shown in **LXQt** desktop, but  it's possible to create an autostart action in other desktop environments.
