It is not a question how to change authorizations but that default
authorizations, i.e. what you will get on just installed system, are
seriously backwards defaulting to a security disaster.  Yes, you can
fix that using polkit-action, if you noticed that something is
amiss, but I wonder on how many installed systems this was actually
done and what else is lurking there.

The issue was reported at least on 2008-06-06 as
