Allowd
The goal of allowd is to provide memory-safe policy rules using D-Bus.
Allowd is part of our Privilege Boundary initiative.
About
We will prototype an alternative approach to the current Polkit daemon, utilizing the existing external D-Bus interfaces, but improving the internal design. We also aim to demonstrate to the Freedesktop community, especially the systemd team, that Rust is well-suited for these core desktop applications, producing small and efficient binaries with limited dependencies.
Roadmap
- 2026 Q2: Start of development
The allowd project is supported by NLnet Foundation
