Cole Robinson e94979e901 polkit: Allow password-less access for 'libvirt' group
Many users, who admin their own machines, want to be able to access
system libvirtd via tools like virt-manager without having to enter
a root password. Just google 'virt-manager without password' and
you'll find many hits. I've read at least 5 blog posts over the years
describing slightly different ways of achieving this goal.

Let's finally add official support for this.

Install a polkit-1 rules file granting password-less auth for any user
in the new 'libvirt' group. Create the group on RPM install

// Allow any user in the 'libvirt' group to connect to system libvirtd
// without entering a password.
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage" &&
subject.isInGroup("libvirt")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
