# pklocalauthority(8)

polkit Local Authority Compatibility

## NAME

pklocalauthority - polkit Local Authority Compatibility

## DESCRIPTION

The polkit Local Authority no longer exists. Existing configuration files are honored; see [**pkla-admin-identities**(8)](/pkla-admin-identities/8.md) and [**pkla-check-authorization**(8)](/pkla-check-authorization/8.md) for description of the configuration format.

Unlike the original Local Authority implementation, *ReturnValue* keys are ignored because [**polkit**(8)](/polkit/8.md) no longer supports the functionality.

## SEE ALSO

[**pkla-admin-identities**(8)](/pkla-admin-identities/8.md), [**pkla-check-authorization**(8)](/pkla-check-authorization/8.md), [**polkit**(8)](/polkit/8.md)
