+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><command>run0</command> may be used to temporarily and interactively acquire elevated or different
+    privileges. It serves a similar purpose as <citerefentry
+    project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sudo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, but
+    operates differently in a couple of key areas:</para>
+
+    <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem><para>No execution or security context credentials are inherited from the caller into the
+      invoked commands, as they are invoked from a fresh, isolated service forked off by the service manager.
+      </para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>Authentication takes place via <ulink
+      url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit">polkit</ulink>, thus isolating the
+      authentication prompt from the terminal (if possible).</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>An independent pseudo-tty is allocated for the invoked command, detaching its lifecycle and
+      isolating it for security.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>No SetUID/SetGID file access bit functionality is used for the implementation.</para></listitem>
+    </itemizedlist>
+
+    <para>Altogether this should provide a safer and more robust alternative to the <command>sudo</command>
+    mechanism, in particular in OS environments where SetUID/SetGID support is not available (for example by
+    setting the <varname>NoNewPrivileges=</varname> variable in
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-system.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
+
+    <para>Any session invoked via <command>run0</command> will run through the
+    <literal>systemd-run0</literal> PAM stack.</para>
+
+    <para>Note that <command>run0</command> is implemented as an alternative multi-call invocation of
