		<h1>The seatd service</h1>
		<p>
    		Seatd is a seat manager.
    		This means that it mediates access to
    		hardware like a GPU or input devices to the compositor.
		</p>
		<p>
    		This service makes the socket have
    		<code>seat</code> group permissions.
    		Thus the group <code>seat</code> must exist
    		and users intending to run a compositor need to
    		be part of that group.
		</p>
		<p>
    		The service does not change the socket location,
    		by default it usually resides at
    		<code>/run/seatd.sock</code>.
		</p>
