Using a new user with no admin permissions a new user connection can be
created from quicklist (instead of showing the polkit request to login
as the main PC admin).
As it happens in control center
$ apt-cache policy gnome-shell

Title:
Impossible to connect to wifi connection from quick settings if user
has not enough permissions
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Noble:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[ 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
