     Sure. But for me it has never worked after just su, nor with sudo. 
I'm sure you need to do some tricks to achieve that. It doesn't work out 
of the box, or maybe when you are the user who did the install and the 
installer has tricked Policykit to allow you that? Anyway Policykit is 
yet another thing I dislike.
