That is one of the problems which I meant with my mail of 10/22 with the 
subject "org.freedesktop.accounts.policy"

Either the user has to be a member of the group 'sudo', or you have to edit /
usr/share/polkit-1/org.freedesktop.accounts.policy.

With a single user system sudo might not be a problem, with a multi-user 
system you have to edit '/ etc / sudoers' quite laboriously if not everyone 
should be allowed to do everything.

I would therefore rather edit org.freedesktop.accounts.policy and use 
'<allow_active> auth_self </allow_active>' instead of 'auth_admin' in the 
corresponding sections.
Then you have to authenticate yourself with your own password.
