## DESCRIPTION

The configuration file located at `/etc/polkit-1/polkitd.conf` has the highest precedence, if found. If not, `/run/polkit-1/polkitd.conf` will be used. If neither file is found, `/usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd.conf` will be used. If no configuration file is found, default settings compiled into `polkitd` will be used.

## [Polkitd] SECTION

The `[Polkitd]` section accepts the following keys.

### ExpirationSeconds=

Specifies the default expiration time, in seconds, for temporary authorizations granted by `polkitd` via interactive authentication. The default value is 300 (5 minutes).
