Title:
  Impossible to connect to wifi connection from quick settings if user
  has not enough permissions

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Noble:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  An user without system connection permissions may still be able to
  connect via network manager but GNOME shell doesn't allow them.

  In particular if the the user has no the
  org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system privileges,
  gnome shell will fail with:

    audit: op="connection-add-activate" pid=1872 uid=1000 result="fail"
    reason="Insufficient privileges

  While GNOME Control center will allow the user to connect

  [ Test case ]

  1. Create a new user with no admin privileges
  2. Connect to a wifi network using the GNOME shell quick action (from the 
panel)
  3. The user should be prompted for creating a new *user* network connection

  [ Regression Potential ]

  An user with no privileges can initiate the request of creating a new
  connection to Network Manager
