description |
NetworkManager needs a setting that makes it create new connections as user connections by default.
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system can be used to allow access, however, you don't always want to have users edit system connections. |
NetworkManager needs a setting that makes it create new connections as user connections by default.
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system can be used to allow access, however, you don't always want to have users edit system connections.
[Impact]
Before 12.04, new connections in NetworkManager were user-connections. Organisations could use this to lock down certain connections to system connections.
Today, non-admin users are shown a "Please enter root password" prompt when trying to connect to an unknown (wireless) network. Which is undesirable as these users may not know the root password.
A workaround is to grant the users 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system' access, however this may be desirable as corporate networks may be defined in system-connections that adminstators may not want users to change.
[Test Case]
* Today: Connect to a new wireless network as a non-admin user, see that a password dialog is displayed.
* With patch, set a PolicyKit rule of:
"""
[Adding or changing system-wide NetworkManager connections]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system
ResultActive=no
[Adding or changing user-owned NetworkManager connections]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own
ResultActive=yes
"""
...connect to a new wireless network as a non-admin user and see in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections that a user-connection instead of system one has been defined, no root password should be requested either.
[Regression Potential]
None, as we do not touch the default configuration for 12.04 LTS. |
