You can also move connections between user and system with
nm-connection-editor; look for the "Available to all users" checkbox in
each connection's edit window.  Checking that box makes it a system
connection (thus available at boot time) as long as a plugin is enabled
that allows writing of system connections.  That wiki page should also
talk about system settings plugins.
