Inherits: QObject
Namespace: Plasma

## Detailed Description

AuthorizationManager plasma/authorizationmanager.h <Plasma/AccessManager>

Allows authorization of access to plasma services.

This is the class where every message to or from another machine passes through. It's responsibilities are: - creating/keeping a credentials used for message signing. - verifying credentials of incoming messages. - testing whether or not the sender is allowed to access the requested resource by testing the request to a set of rules. - allowing the shell to respond to a remote request that doesn't match any of the rules that are in effect. Besides internal use in libplasma, the only moment you'll need to access this class is when you implement a plasma shell.

Since:
  4.4

| ) |  |  |

Set a policy used for authorizing incoming connections. You can either use one of the included policies, Default is to deny all incoming connections.
