/etc/pam.d/system-config-users (for example) includes config-util,
which contains:

auth            sufficient      pam_rootok.so

The consolehelper configs are stored in /etc/security/console.apps/.
system-config-users contains:

USER=root
PROGRAM=/usr/share/system-config-users/system-config-users
SESSION=true
