Package: network-manager
Version: 1.42.4-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
So the set up is that I have a user I want to be able to
alter/bring-up/bring-down network connections.
I have a main user `user` that can do it fine. I created a new user
`newuser` and added them to the `netdev` group.
If I login to the new account via `sudo -i -u newuser` I can alter the
existing connection fine.
However I'm also running xephyr for nested logins. To start the instance
I run the command `dm-tool add-nested-seat`. If I login as `newuser`,
open a terminal and run, say, `nmcli con down 'Wired connection 1` I'm
told: `Connection 'Wired connection 1' deactivation failed: Not
authorized to deactivate connections`.
I'm not clear why this works in one case but not the other. I'd expect
it to work in both!

This also requires policykit to work for that user (that error message
is from policykit).
Please set it up accordingly.
I know too little about Xephyr though to help you here.
