Yes, you need to adapt the polkit configuration but I don't know what
exactly needs to be done. Some links that might point into the right
direction:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/polkit.8.html
(search for "local")
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/96054/non-root-user-cannot-control-networkmanager-polkit-rule-has-no-effect

Sunweaver has been dealing with polkit stuff recently but he's on
vacation so we cannot ask ATM. I'll set him on cc:

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Uli
