When attempting to launch system-config-users from command line, I get the following warning, and the tool does not open. I'm using CentOS 7 with Mate 1.8.1.

WARNING **: Error enumerating actions: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files

Error checking for authorization org.freedesktop.policykit.exec: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files

yum list polkit*

What system component is responsible for the problem?

I just had the same return when installing deluged on arch, i typed.

 systemctl start deluged

I tried using sudo and it worked fine It seems to be a group permissions issue

I just enabled the user account and then started typing

 sudo systemctl start deluged

worked like a charm.
