Summary Manage files as administrator using the admin:// KIO protocol
Description kio-admin implements a new protocol admin:/// which gives administrative access to the entire system. This is achieved by talking, over dbus, with a root-level helper binary that in turn uses existing KIO infrastructure to run file:// operations in root-scope. Or simply put: admin:// is exactly like file:// but redirected over dbus to gain administrative privileges.
