    Set USERCTL=yes|no to yes so that non-root users are allowed to control eth0 device. If you set USERCTL to no non-root users are not allowed to control this device (default). Edit your /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 and set
    USERCTL=yes
    As a non-root user, use ifconfig command to control device.

    Yes, there is an option in UI (network manager). Just select "Allow all users"
