Look into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0

There should be a line that says
USERCTL="yes"

That will allow ANY user on your local system to
/usr/sbin/usernetctl ppp0 up
/usr/sbin/usernetctl ppp0 down

If you only want root to be able to activate the connection then leave the 
line as:
USERCTL="no"

and make sure you use "su -" to become root or login as root.

HTH Tony.
