Package: network-manager
Version: 1.0.8-2
Hi,
the NetworkManager polkit policy in Debian does not allow changing or
adding connections from a remote session, such as a ssh or Cockpit
login.
The default upstream policy explicitly allows this. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1145646
for some discussion.
In the bug report above, the action that needed adjustement was
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control". In Debian,
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system" would need to be
allowed for "any".
