Description of problem: When starting redhat-control-network as a normal user, I am prompted for root password. It should be possible to disable this behavior. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-1.2.15-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.log in as normal user 2.start redhat-control-network 3.try to change profile Actual results: Prompts for root password. Expected results: Should not prompt for root password. Normal users ought to be able to switch profiles. Additional info: As I see it, the point of this GUI tool is to let casual users manage network connectivity. In some cases, this should include switching profiles, for example DHCP at home and static IP at ofice. Asking for root password defeats this purpose. Maybe there could be a checkbox for profiles, similar to the device checkbox: Allow all users to enable and disable the profile.
this is not possible, because it modifies system wide settings and requires root permissions to do so.. though one can argue, the consoleuser should be able to do so...
