The name > org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files
When attempting to launch system-config-users from command line, I get the following warning, and the tool does not open. I’m using CentOS 7 with Mate 1.8.1.

What is missing from my system to cause this error?
I just had the same return when installing deluged on arch, I typed:
systemctl start deluged
I tried with sudo and it worked fine. Seems to be a group permissions issue.
All I did was enable permissions for my user account and then typed:
sudo systemctl start deluged
worked like a charm.
To clarify and summarize SNP22’s post: You probably just forgot sudo.:
sudo systemctl [...]
Absolutely misleading warning …
This has been reported in this issue and fixed in this commit, which was released in systemd v244.
…but unfortunately this change will never go back to Centos 7’s systemd v219.
