You just want to be able to use ifup and ifdown as a user and that isn't going to work, no matter what options you set. Right.... When it comes to Network Manager..... If the connection has.... connection.autoconnect: yes connection.permissions: -- The connection will be activated at boot time and any user can up/down with nmcli. [maria@f32k ~]$ nmcli connection down enp1s0 Connection 'enp1s0' successfully deactivated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/3) [maria@f32k ~]$ nmcli connection up enp1s0 Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/6). User maria is not in the wheel group. But, if the connection has connection.autoconnect: yes connection.permissions: user:egreshko Then we see this when maria tries things.... [egreshko@f32k ~]$ nmcli connection show enp1s0 | grep perm connection.permissions: user:egreshko [maria@f32k ~]$ nmcli connection show enp1s0 | grep perm Error: enp1s0 - no such connection profile. So, only egreshko has access to that profile. User maria can't even list it. Things can get a "bit" complicated/confusing if the connection is a Wifi connection if one picks a password access which conflict with the connection settings. For example, if the connection.permissions is blank but the password has been saved for use by only egreshko then maria can down the connection but maria won't be able to activate/up it. I also don't use the ifup/down commands but I do seem to recall some folks having "issues" with that when they also had network-scripts installed and /etc/alternatives link pointed to the one they weren't expecting. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
