Advanced Wi-Fi config not working - MacOS Ventura

Hi. Im trying to configure my wifi settings so that my system "requires an administrator password to switch to a different Wi-Fi network".


I tried to enable this exact option in the Advanced Wi-Fi settings but it continues to let me change the network without asking me the admin password.


Could this be a Ventura bug? Anyone else with this problem? Tanks
