Ok, excuse me for misunderstanding, how it is possible then to set up access control when I use remote connection to KVM ( not in UNIX domain)? Is there any way within libvirt, maybe based on authentication or certificates?

You're mis-interpreted what that means. Libvirt provides the PID to polkit
(well actually pid + starttime), polkit uses this to identify the process
and determine its username and group membership, which is then used to
make access control decisions.
