Title:
  FFE: Behavior when policy limits access to nm-applet functions is
  inconsistent / should hide disallowed actions

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  TL;DR: two things to be added:
  - Fix the inconsistencies, make sure all the locked-down functions are 
insensitive when disallowed;
  - Add support to hide rather than desensitize disallowed functions.

  
  The UI behavior is inconsistent in the applet; basically, if some functions 
are disallowed from the UI, some items will appear insensitive in the menu, 
while others will be accessible and fail due to permissions. All disallowed 
functions should be triggering a case where the menu items are insensitive.

  Also, there ought to be a way to hide these items from the menu when
  desired, to avoid confusing users. Not by default, because default
  settings don't actually currently lock any of the applet functions,
  but the possiblity should be allowed.
