+:since:`Since 9.10.0`, these requests will come with the ``granular``
+attribute (see below) set to either ``"true"``, if the Polkit access
+driver is enabled, or ``"false"`` otherwise. A policy designed to
+work with the Polkit access driver should only allow the
+``org.libvirt.unix.manage`` action if the ``granular`` attribute is
+set to ``"true"``: failing to do so might result in accidentally
+granting full administrative access to libvirt to more users than
+intended if the Polkit access driver is later disabled.
