This can happen when either your session is not considered active
for some reason or when there are multiple sessions. Also check
the polkit policy in /etc/polkit-default-privs.(standard|local).

The magic is in /etc/polkit-default-privs.standard and
/etc/polkit-default-privs.restrictive. The former contains the
default policy, it can be overridden by placing entries in
/etc/polkit-default-privs.local and running
set_polkit_default_privs. The default preset is determined via
/etc/sysconfig/security.
