What Happened?

Currently, only admin users can connect to wifi. Unprivileged users will be asked for the admin password.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. After installing and updating the system, add a new standard user without administration privileges.
  2. Login as that user, and try to connect to any wifi network for the first time.

A password prompt for the administrator user will pop up.
After providing the password, it won't ask for it again.

Expected Behavior

This happens because the option "all users may connect to this network", from nm-connection-editor, is enabled by default.

I propose we disable it by default, to effectively make all connections per-user.
