Hi Marcel,

What do you mean by "current session user"?

I'd propose essentially a two level system where you have a level which
is allowed to do everything, and another one which only allows "normal
user" operations. root and users belonging to the "bluetooth" (or
"btadmin" or whatever) group would be on the "everyting allowed" level,
while everyone else would be on the other.

Of course this doesn't mean that distributions couldn't replace the
policy with a more flexible (and complex) one to suit their needs. I'm
just proposing this to be the default that comes with bluez-utils.

Also, I don't think it makes sense for the default D-BUS policy (which
comes with upstream with bluez-utils) to deny a normal user things that
can anyway be done using libbluetooth directly (e.g. using the command
line tools).

Johan
