System policy prevents wifi scans (and root pass for power)

The subject is an arch arm raspberry pi 3 (lxqt) I am prompted every time when I open network manager or want to reboot for a root password. I have the following modifications in my /etc/sudoers: Cmnd_Alias REBOOT = /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff, /usr/bin/shutdown -h now Cmnd_Alias NETWORK = /usr/bin/netctl, /usr/bin/nm-applet, /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor, /usr/bin/nm-online, /usr/bin/nmcli, /usr/bin/nmtui, /usr/bin/nmtui-connect, /usr/bin/nmtui-edit, /usr/bin/nmtui-hostname %network ALL=(ROOT) NOPASSWD: NETWORK %power ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: POWER tried (ALL) and (ROOT) for both, neither did work. My /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy file contains properly: yes yes and added yes Still it did not fix my problem. Weirly enough even if I dont provide the root password the wifi scan for instance will go through and I see the available connections. I read most posts (10 years old or so) but they did not fix my issue.
