Description
### What Happened?
Currently, only admin users can connect to wifi. Unprivileged users will be asked for the admin password.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. After installing and updating the system, add a new standard user without administration privileges.
2. Login as that user, and try to connect to any wifi network for the first time.
> A password prompt for the administrator user will pop up.
> After providing the password, it won't ask for it again.
### Expected Behavior
This happens because the option "all users may connect to this network", from nm-connection-editor, is enabled by default.

I propose we disable it by default, to effectively make all connections per-user.
