Hi!
Since NetworkManager 0.9, a simple user is not allowed to connect to
some wireless network unless it is granted (through policy kit or
appropriate permissions)
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system. This permission
allows to alter existing connections as well. An active user should be
authorized to use any wireless network if he wants to by default (like
in previous versions). Or it should be possible to configure network
manager to allow users to connect to wireless networks without
enabling them to modify other system settings.
