If the user unclicks 'shared for all users', I would imagine they could then make personal changes without the need for the root password? I would imagine that the root password is not really to keep them from making changes in general for an interface, but to keep those changes from being for all users. This is not really what I am after. I do not want the user to be able to make changes on a class of interfaces even for their own use unless they use the password. All this is just so that as they do whatever is needed to get the wireless set up, they do not accidentally change other interfaces. On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 5:45 PM, Carlos E.

I am trying this on a 12.3 system (I know...) and when I switch from traditional to Network Manager, none of the existing interface settings are used. All devices are set to DHCP. And, as the user I am, I need to configure the wired connections to have a fixed address. And it lets me. And I am not root. This is what I wanted to not allow.
You have to set that connection to be "shared for all users" or words to that effect. It will request the root password, and from that point that connection can not be altered by a plain user without the root password.
Users can set new connections, though. And possibly stop any connection.
Maybe this is not what you understood :-?
Since Network Manager did not start with the device configurations in /etc/sysconfig/network, how would it have the system settings and not allow the user to set things? What settings are used?
New settings.
