The command "nmcli general permissions" is used to display the network management permissions of the current user.

The "nmcli" command is a command-line tool for managing NetworkManager, which is a software utility in Linux-based operating systems that manages network connections.

The "general permissions" part specifies that we want information about the general network management permissions.

When you run this command, it will show the permissions available to the current user for managing network connections. These permissions define what actions the user is allowed to perform regarding network management, such as adding, modifying, or deleting network connections.

The output of this command will typically include information about the user's specific permissions, such as whether they have the ability to enable or disable networking, create new connections, or modify existing connections.
