As one who has had many problems with privileges/permissions/etc issues,
"polkit" is the keyword.
I did the suggested search and found:
http://smcv.pseudorandom.co.uk/2015/why_polkit/
and
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit#For_specific_actions
They briefly summarize the problem system designers faced and hint at
how a user could approach solving the problems in particular use case.
Wish someone had pointed me to polkit a long time ago.
