libmalcontent implements parental controls support which can be used by applications to filter or limit the access of child accounts to inappropriate content.
When logged in as an administrator, and editing other user accounts in
gnome-control-center, polkit keeps popping up authentication dialogues
to read or change other users’ parental controls data. That shouldn’t be
necessary since we’re an admin user, and it’s not a critical enough
action to need to prompt the admin to re-authenticate to make sure they
really want to make such changes.
Add a .rules file to squash the polkit prompts for reading other users’
parental controls. Keep the default policy of auth_admin_keep for
changing our/others’ parental controls, since that should be handled by
the ‘Unlock’ button in g-c-c.

eos-parental-controls
=====================
eos-parental-controls implements support for restricting the abilities of
non-administrator accounts on an Endless OS system. Typically, when this is
used, a non-administrator account will be for a child using the system; and the
administrator accounts will be for the parents.
It provides an accounts service vendor extension for storing an app filter to
restrict the child’s access to certain applications; and a simple library for
accessing and applying the app filter.
All the library APIs are currently unstable and are likely to change wildly.
