Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
An user without system connection permissions may still be able to
connect via network manager but GNOME shell doesn't allow them.
In particular if the the user has no the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system privileges, gnome
shell will fail with:
audit: op="connection-add-activate" pid=1872 uid=1000 result="fail"
reason="Insufficient privileges
While GNOME Control center will allow the user to connect
[ Test case ]
1. Create a new user with no admin privileges
2. Connect to a wifi network using the GNOME shell quick action (from the panel)
3. The user should be prompted for creating a new *user* network connection
[ Regression Potential ]
An user with no privileges can initiate the request of creating a new
connection to Network Manager
