Hello,

Edit the appropriate action in 
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy to :
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>

For example :
>         <action id="org.freedesktop.login1.power-off">
>                 <description>Power off the system</description>
>                 <message>Authentication is required for powering off 
> the system.</message>
>                 <defaults>
> <allow_any>auth_admin_keep</allow_any>
> <allow_inactive>auth_admin_keep</allow_inactive>
> <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
>                 </defaults>
>         </action>


The authentification window has a button that will let you see which 
policy and action setting is concerned.
