Hello.

Try editting the interface in netcfg, and set the "Allow any user to
(de)activate interface" option on. Alternatively, edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ppp0 and set

    USERCTL=yes

Thereafter, use the

   $ /sbin/ifup ppp0

from command line to activate the interface (the example here is a PPP
connection) as user. To deactivate the interface, use

   $ /sbin/ifdown ppp0

Hope that helps.
