DESCRIPTION
systemd-logind is a system service that manages user logins. It is responsible for:

o Providing PolicyKit-based access for users to operations such as system shutdown or
sleep
o Implementing a shutdown/sleep inhibition logic for applications
o Handling of power/sleep hardware keys
o Multi-seat management
o Session switch management
o Device access management for users

User sessions are registered in logind via the pam_systemd(8) PAM module.
