storage devices.

Permissions
-----------

udiskie requires permission for the ``org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount``
action.  This is usually granted in sessions launched with ConsoleKit_ support.
If run outside a desktop manager with ConsoleKit_ support, the permission can be
granted using PolicyKit_ by creating a file called ``10-udiskie.pkla`` in
``/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d`` with these contents:

.. _ConsoleKit: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit
.. _PolicyKit: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit

::

    [udiskie]
    Identity=unix-group:storage
    Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount
    ResultAny=yes

This configuration allows all members of the storage group to run udiskie.
