Public bug reported:
On 16.04 and using the Xubuntu session (this isn't limited to XFCE) I
noticed that my notebook fails to suspend via power-management when the
idle timeout expires. When returning to it, if it still has power, I see
a polkit-agent GUI dialog asking me to authenticate.
In /var/log/auth.log is:
polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix-session:c2 FAILED to
authenticate to gain authorization for action
org.freedesktop.login1.suspend for system-bus-name::1.47 [xfce4-power-
manager --restart --sm-client-id 2992705d4-6fa2-4fba-966c-f7631ecd0b46]
(owned by unix-user:tj)
So I started digging:

ubuntu-admin.conf policy sets AdminIdentities to include group 'sudo'
but seems to be ignored
"man 8 pklocalauthority" states that these files are parsed in C locale
lexical order, and gives examples of "...given the name 60-desktop-
policy.conf to ensure that it is evaluted after the
50-localauthority.conf file shipped with PolicyKit."
However:
$ sudo inotifywait -r -m /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d
Setting up watches. Beware: since -r was given, this may take a while!
Watches established.

This seems to show that the sort order might be high-low not low-high
(unless they're sorted once in memory).
In view of the fact that ubuntu-admin.conf appears to be ignored I
suspect 50-localauthority.conf is replacing the ubuntu conf with the
default:
AdminIdentities=unix-group:sudo;unix-group:admin
AdminIdentities=unix-user:0
