Bug Description

The system settings in natty and earlier used to allow some basic management of group settings, but this is missing from oneiric's new user management application. The old "Users and Groups" application is still available (but this is perhaps because I upgraded rather than did a clean install) but it is not linked to in gnome-control-center.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Sadly, they're not going to fix it upstream.

Let's close the bug then, the current tools is a simple desktop user utility not a sysadmin one, we should probably recommend other tools for system administrators to install
