Hi,

that doesn't sound like a polkit problem per se.
You can probably solve this more easily be simply applying an ACL or
make the directories/files group owned and add users how should get
access to that group.


If you want to do it the polkit way, you'd have to split your
application into a privileged part, running as root and using an IPC
mechanism like D-Bus, communicating with the part that runs as the
unprivileged user.
