Could someone describe what 'allow_active' privileges is on Linux?
- rcxdude 1y agoIt's not something that means anything to the kernel, it's a concept in polkit and the various associated userland authorization frameworks which basically means 'things a user currently sat in front of the machine and logged on should be able to do', which includes things like mounting USB drives (but not in arbitrary places and with arbitrary options) and the like.
