# AuthorizationInterface Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.plasma import *`

Namespace: Plasma

## Detailed Description

AuthorizationInterface plasma/authorizationinterface.h <Plasma/AuthorizationInterface>

Allows authorization of access to plasma services.

This class is only needed when you create a plasma shell. When you implement it and register it with the AuthorizationManager class, it allows you to respond to incoming service access attempts. Whenever a message is received that does not match any of the AuthorizationRules, AuthorizationManager creates a new rule matching it, and passes it to the authorize function. Change the rule from Unspecified to something else like Allow or Deny to continue processing the message. It also allows you to outgoing access attempts that require pin pairing, to allow your shell to show a dialog to ask the user for a password.

Since:
  4.4
