We have more than 300 notebooks with 12.04 LTS up-to-date. Users aren't sudoers and we made the following change...
At: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy Under the key <action id="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system"> we changed the line: <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active> to: <allow_active>yes</allow_active> This permits to configure system connections without asking for the administrator's password. However, we needed to upgrade network-manager and modemmanager for using some mobile broadband USB devices. We upgraded from https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/trunk PPA and we lost our policy. I agree if the user is not sudoer can't (by default) change system connections. But upgrades should test any changes made in policies.
