--- Comment #8 from Bjørn Lie ---
Based on comment 7 I'll close this one.
If a connection is a "System connection" I.E a connection shared with all
users, admin password is expected to be required.
This is due to upstream and last but not least our current security (polkit)
settings.
Is this unfortunate? - Indeed it is, but I'm not willing to fight the sec team
on this one, as we have tried in the past.
Admins/users may work around this via copying the following into
/etc/polkit-default-privs.local
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-network yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wwan yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.use-user-connections yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own yes:yes:yes
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system yes:yes:yes
and running set_polkit_default_privs after.
DISCLAMER: The above might be "overkill" and insecure - so users and admins are
advised to check if all are needed + changing the defaults are not recommended
and so on :-)
