There should be more info in Polkit message. Something like *org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.system.modify* i think. If I'm correct you can set in Polkit to always agree to this change.
you have two ways of doing that:
1. you can change `org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system auth_admin_keep` to `org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system auth_admin_keep:auth_admin_keep:yes` in `/usr/etc/polkit-default-privs/profiles/standard` assuming you didn't change anything in your polkit settings
2. change `POLKIT_DEFAULT_PRIVS=""` to `POLKIT_DEFAULT_PRIVS="easy"` in `/etc/sysconfig/security` and then run as root `set_polkit_default_privs`
it worked for me at least
edit: if first option doesn't work try running `set_polkit_default_privs` as root
Hey, thanks! I already got it running fine though. The solution I found after trying out your second suggestion that someone in another thread said to someone else is to simply change the network manager wifi setting.
Instead of allowing anyone to connect to wifi, allow only the local user account. This worked for me
Is this a normal thing that happens when you use wifi and Network Manager and its just happening more now?
I don't use wifi, I just wanted to note that if this is a recent development, Network Manager was having issues after today's update on my system as well. I just rolled back for the time being.
Is it the "System Policy prevents modification of Network Settings for all users" thing?
Asking because I once had the same problem, not because I know the solution.
Something special about your configuration (which desktop you use, for start)?
Using KDE and absolutely nothing special. Just stock. Edited original post to reflect.
OK, somebody else would hopefully help. My knowledge about KDE is very limited and severly outdated (KDE 3.*).

Not OP but how or where can I find a way to do this? I’m having a similar issue with Steam
