How to make Ubuntu ask for a password every time a user tries to access system settings?
I need this specifically for the wifi settings, so that no one can change, turn on, or off wifi on my machine without putting the root password in the prompt.
Any help is appreciated.
I reached the target with as follow:
sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-tweaks /usr/bin/gnome-tweaks.real
sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-control-center /usr/bin/gnome-control-center.real
sudo nano /usr/bin/gnome-tweaks
Added the line
user=$USER ; disp=$DISPLAY ; pkexec sudo -u $user DISPLAY=$disp gnome-tweaks.real
sudo nano /usr/bin/gnome-control-center
Added the line
user=$USER ; disp=$DISPLAY ; pkexec sudo -u $user DISPLAY=$disp gnome-control-center.real
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/gnome-tweaks
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/gnome-control-center
