To see it in action, install polkit-desktop-policy, which adds two Unix groups and associates policykit policies with it. Then join one of the groups to make the policies apply to yourself. The group names are desktop_admin_r and desktop_user_r. The one reason why we've held off on pushing this further is that we are lacking the user account tool that lets use nicely manage these groups/profiles.
