What is the current proscribed method of connecting virt-manager or virsh to
a remote system with a non-root account? I keep getting "authentication
failed: no agent is available to authenticate" with a user that is in the
kvm and qemu groups on the systems I've tried using the ssh transport.
This guide ought to help you set it up

Hmmm... I've created the polkit rule as stated in [1], but I still
received the "no agent is available to authenticate" error. Do I need to
restart anything to pick it up?
