The gtk:lock-button widget is a widget that can be used in control panels or preference dialogs to allow users to obtain and revoke authorizations needed to operate the controls.


Figure: GtkLockButton

The required authorization is represented by a g:permission object. Concrete implementations of the g:permission class may use the PolicyKit library or some other authorization framework. To obtain a PolicyKit-based g:permission object, use the polkit_permission_new() function. The gtk:lock-button implementation has been deprecated since version 4.10 and should not be used in newly written code. This widget will be removed in GTK 5.
