Comment 8 for bug 1060907

If connections are created with "Available to all users" unchecked, the
password will be saved in the user's keyring.

The policy access you need for this is ...modify.own, not system; and will
give sufficient access for the users to create wifi connections for their
own use, while not allowing modifications to provisioned settings. Giving
modify.system access is equivalent to giving administrator access for
changing/reading the connections created system-wide (the default), and
seeing the passwords from the UI.
