Re: bug#52904: nmtui - user authorisation

o `allow_any` rule for many actions, but I don't know what this entails (if it is an implicit `no`, `auth_admin`, etc...). Note that we have a catch-all rule defined at `polkit-wheel` in gnu/services/desktop.scm that says that administrative users are exactly the users in the group `wheel`. That means that when Polkit needs to authenticate an administrative user, it will ask for your own password if you're in the `wheel` group, but you still need to reauthenticate, you cannot bypass that check. I hope this clears up how Polkit works, and why the action is denied. -- Josselin Poiret
