Create /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/consolekit.pkla with the
contents:

[restart]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart
ResultAny=yes

[stop]
Identity=unix-user:brian
Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop
ResultAny=yes

In the same directory have udisks.pkla containing:

[udisks]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks*
ResultAny=yes
