Unable to grant for org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system

[Stéphane Boucher]

I can’t grant modify.system privilege.

However, I don’t see any pkla file other than mine doing something with NetworkManager.

Any debug trace I could turn on to see how polkit compute the values?

I’m on Ubuntu Mate 16.04.

Thanks.
