As this and related bugs show:
Non-Admin users can't even connect to wireless networks, not already created.
This is neither an opinion nor a "wish". Non-Admin users should at least be
able to connect to wireless networks.
The cause of all effects here: Unchecking the "available to all users" box. But
the intended functionally should be to click on a available network connection
in the network-manager-applet and just connect to the wireless network. This
doesn't work at all. Therefore I would consider it as a bug. Even if the
intention is, not to allow normal users to modify system wide connections
(which is pretty reasonable), the effects it causes are bugs, which lead (for
non admin users) to the inability to use the uses in an adequate way.
Furthermore, according to the status, Debian and OpenSuse got the issue
fixed.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
