SMJobBless demonstrates how to securely install a helper tool that performs a privileged operation and how to associate the tool with an application that invokes it.
SMJobBless uses ServiceManagement.framework that was introduced in Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
As of Snow Leopard, this is the preferred method of managing privilege escalation on Mac OS X and should be used instead of earlier approaches such as BetterAuthorizationSample or directly calling AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges.
