"Authentication required. System policy prevents WiFi scans" in FocalFossa

Solution 1:

It would not be recommended to change your network setting while connected through xRDP. If something goes wrong, you will loose your xrdp connection and you will need to logon locally to check your settings.

In practice, yes, you could create a pkla file (under /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local-d) and populate it with the following info...

[Allow Wifi Scan]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan;org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-wifi;org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own;org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system;org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

As you can see, the pkla file does a little bit more than authorizing Wifi Scans...Please adapt as required

Hope this help Till next time See ya
