This tab is used to allow users to perform tasks normally reserved
to the system administrator (root
).
This tab presents most of the tools available in the Control Center, and defines the level of authentication required to launch each of them:
The tool is launched immediately.
The user password is asked for to make sure he is actually the one using the computer and launching the configuration tool.
The standard behavior: the administrator password is asked for.

With the default security level (High), users are allowed to launch the Network Center without password (by clicking on the network applet). This allows them to manage their connections themselves.
