This is not a MATE problem. This is a dbus/polkit problem. Please talk to davidz or whoever maintains dbus/polkit now. /etc/dbus-1/system.conf contains the following: <!-- Holes must be punched in service configuration files for name ownership and sending method calls --> <deny own="*"/> <deny send_type="method_call"/>
Sorry please disregard. I see the issue now.
Fix submitted upstream. https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-settings-daemon/pull/22
(In reply to comment #4) > Fix submitted upstream. > > https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-settings-daemon/pull/22 Is this https://github.com/dmashal/mate-settings-daemon/commit/258f92953949ebd7ebca3bd34df973099b24f4dd ? I haven't tested it, but I don't think that fixes the problem (it seems to me that allowing more access can't fix a problem with too lax access), or at least not its cause. The piece of configuration is that allows any user to perform the operation is in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.mate.settingsdaemon.datetimemechanism.policy; as described in bug 878102 comment 0, the policy can be fixed by replacing the only "auth_self_keep" by "auth_admin_keep".
When running the command in the original bug you are now prompted for a password. This was taken from org.freedesktop.timedate1.conf

This could be a MATE 1.4 problem but in MATE 1.5 I see the following: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.mate.settingsdaemon.datetimemechanism.policy <defaults> <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive> <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active> </defaults> I am submitting an update for this now. Please test.
