Bug Description
The users and group manager allows the user to make dangerous changes that will completely mess up their setup. The user and group manager should at least warn the user when they make a change that may destroy their set up.
Examples:
*User changes their home directory to a folder they do not have permissions to
*You can delete the root user
*Removing the current user from the administration group

In 2.29.2 we hide root, and don't allow the last admin to be removed. If user is about to lose its own admin rights, we warn him. For home directory, there will be more improvements to come, like making user the owner of the dir.
