In order to be able to answer this question, I was looking for a way to manage PolicyKit in KDE. Using Google I quickly ran into the KDE's official Authorization manager (mentioned here and here in the official upstream KDE docs):

enter image description here

However, I cannot locate this on my fully fledged Kubuntu 12.04.1 installation. It's not in the System Settings while I have installed the packages policykit-desktop-privileges and polkit-kde-1.

It seems it is supposed to be included in the very base of KDE since 4.3 according to these docs:

PolicyKit is closely integrated with KDE starting from version 4.3. In kdebase-workspace we have an authorization manager and an authentication agent.

In Ubuntu, the package kdebase-workspace is a transitional package to kde-workspace, which is in turn a metapackage for some basic KDE workspace applications - not mentioning anything about PolicyKit or authorization, only the System Settings application.

Now, where is this part of the "System Settings" in Ubuntu nowadays?
