Should I pursue the strange behavior of needing to have "Make available

happy either way.
You're asking the system to automatically configure a connection, but
you're also asking it to not let other users use the connection. You
can't have both. It might be a wishlist bug to clarify that in the
interface, but I don't see a downside in the case to simply making the
connection available to all users. (The only reason you would not want
to do that is if the connection included some user-specific
credentials and you'd want to control when it was used.)
