* AuthorizationManager creates a new rule matching it, and passes it to the authorize function.
* Change the rule from Unspecified to something else like Allow or Deny to continue processing the
* message.
* It also allows you to outgoing access attempts that require pin pairing, to allow your shell to
* show a dialog to ask the user for a password.
