I saw this in IRC and didn't want it to get lost. This commit adds information on the groups users need to belong to in order to operate ConnMan and IWD.

Should we also mention that the user has to be in the wheel group to control wpa_supplicant? How does this work when polkit is enabled? Are the groups still required? If not, this should be documented.

Sure, I've added wording to wpa_supplicant's page that indicates this in the latest push.

As far as I'm aware polkit only interacts with NetworkManager. I'm not 100% sure about that.
