Check out this article which has some nice details on how PolicyKit is
useful.
Digg it:

"We’re used to think of system-enforced access policies as crude and
coarse-grained, such as the setuid permission bit that lets a user
execute a program as the file’s owner. Fine-grained access has to be
enforced by individual applications, a laborious coding process that is
weakened by not being able to take advantage of underlying operation
system security. PolicyKit, developed by Red Hat and included in Fedora
8, ameliorates this unsatisfactory situation."
