Ah, this works:
"""
#!/bin/bash
REQUIRED_CONNECTION_NAME="Example"
VPN_CONNECTION_NAME="Example VPN"
OWNER_OF_VPN_SECRET="exampleuser" # Username of the owner of the keyring with
the VPN credentials
activ_con=$(nmcli con status | grep "${REQUIRED_CONNECTION_NAME}")
activ_vpn=$(nmcli con status | grep "${VPN_CONNECTION_NAME}")
if [ "${activ_con}" -a ! "${activ_vpn}" ];
then
su ${OWNER_OF_VPN_SECRET} -c "nmcli con up id \"${VPN_CONNECTION_NAME}\""
fi
"""
So it is an access rights issue.
