Hi,

  NetworkManager currently only supports one PolicyKit privilege. That is
whether a user is allowed to modify administrator defined connections or
not. There is no way to disallow users to define their own network
configurations.

  There's only org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify,
introduce something like
org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.user.modify so NM can determine
whether it should accept user settings.

  Also we could separate the action in more grained, such as
org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify
org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.add
org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.delete

and the same for .user .

And you may even want to specifically allow or disallow adding for specific
network types like wired, wireless, VPN, etc.

You probably also want to have the ability to enable/disable wireless in
general and enable/disable networking covered.

You can default all of these to the current settings, but adding these would
allow more lock-down opportunities.
Any ideas?

Sincerely Yours,

Bin Li
