(Updated Oct. 27, 2018, 4:38 p.m.) Status ------ This change has been discarded. Review request for KDE Frameworks, David Faure and Elvis Angelaccio. Repository: kio Description ------- This is regarding the GSOC idea https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2017/Ideas#Project:_Polkit_support_in_KIO. This patch intends to demonstrate one possible approach to provide polkit support in kio. Here its only for the delete operation. This is based on the patch in task https://phabricator.kde.org/T5070. The approach is as follows; 1. Whenever file ioslave gets access denied error it calls the method *execWithRoot* with the action that requires priviledge, the path of items upon which action needs to be performed and a warning ID as arguments. 2. *execWithRoot* then executes the KAuth::Action *org.kde.kio.file.execute*. 3. This Kauth::Action has its Persistence set too 'session'. This means that after authentication the restrictions are dropped for a while, for about 5 minutes. This is similar to the behaviour of sudo command. 4. During this time we can perform any action as a privileged user without any authentication. So to prevent any mishap i added a warning box which would popup before performing any action(only during this period). 5. After the said time interval the root privileges are droped and calling *execWithRoot* should show the usual authentication dialog.
