Not quite. The user gets to see the list of saved networks but their properties are not editable (and not even available in the current UI but that's purely a UI issue). That's why I asked this question. > I still don't get the usefulness of that feature.

To see the password (if you have forgotten it) or proxy configuration (to copy/paste it into the new configuration) 2. To set "Favourite" to false so that it doesn't get automatically connected when it becomes available And generally, if these properties are there and changing them doesn't break anything, why not to provide access to them, especially if there's mechanism already in place for it. connman is a piece of middleware, its job is to provide the functionality and leave it to UI designers to decide what to show, what not to show and how to present it to the user.
