For example the nm-connection-editor's //All users may connect to this network// option must be checked (in gnome-control-center/gnome-shell it is named //Make available to other users//), connections can not be user-owned with IWD. | ||

NM may be allowed to access the whole filesystem but IWD's [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/wireless/iwd.git/tree/src/iwd.service.in|default systemd unit file]] sets ''ProtectHome=yes'' which would cause connections to fail when trying to access certificate files in user home directories. If you intend to use ''iwd-config-path'' (**note distro maintainers**) make sure that NM and IWD have the same level of filesystem access, in their systemd unit files or otherwise. | ||
