+ The <literal>org.freedesktop.policykit.owner</literal>
+ annotation can be used to define a set of users who can query
+ whether a client is authorized to perform this action. If this
+ annotation is not specified then only root can query whether a
+ client running as a different user is authorized for an action.
+ The value of this annotation is a string containing a space
+ separated list of <link
+ linkend="PolkitIdentity-struct">PolkitIdentity</link> entries,
+ for example <literal>"unix-user:42 unix-user:colord"</literal>.
+ A typical use of this annotation is for a daemon process that
+ runs as a system user rather than root.
