Since g-s-t 2.18.x, access to the tools is determined through DBus
policies, there are two possible setups:
1) Having a policy
in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf to allow
access to a group where you should include all the users you
want to grant access, like:
<policy group="sysadmin">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends"/>
<allow
send_destination="org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends"/>
</policy>
2) remove any group policy in that file to only allow access to
the root user and modify .desktop files for all the tools to use
gksu, this is the option Ubuntu has taken, for example.
Hope this helps.
