KDE Network Manager cant import a vpn or change any settings.

Hello,

I am using the kde network manager applet (from the system tray and system settings) and i cant actually change any settings, i have no idea how to get an elevation prompt. I tried:

kdesu systemsettings5

And i was able to add my vpn connection, but i couldnt use my gpg key and i cant do that from my user. how do i go about this?
