I have done these just didn't include them in the mail. Please correct me if I am wrong but I dont' see anything other than what I have already done in the document "Performing Privileged Operations With Authorization Services"
-----------
//creating AuthorizationRef without privileges.
OSStatus status;
status = AuthorizationCreate(NULL, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment, kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, &authRef_);
- (BOOL)getAuthorizationRef {
AuthorizationItem myItems = {kAuthorizationRightExecute, 0, NULL, 0};
AuthorizationRights myRights = {1, &myItems};
AuthorizationFlags flags = kAuthorizationFlagDefaults |
kAuthorizationFlagInteractionAllowed |
kAuthorizationFlagPreAuthorize |
kAuthorizationFlagExtendRights;
OSStatus status;
status = AuthorizationCopyRights(authRef_, &myRights, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment, flags, NULL);
if (status != errAuthorizationSuccess) {
return NO;
}
return YES;
}

You have created an empty AuthorizationRef structure without getting
any authorization data or actually authorizing the operation. Look at
the "Authorization Services C Reference" or "Performing Privileged
Operations With Authorization Services" documents on how to do this.
