Reproducible and discussed on the forums - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2389622

Open "Settings" and navigate to "Users".

Click on "Unlock" and cancel dialog without inputting a password.

"Unlock" becomes unusable and Settings will eventually crash.

If started from a terminal I see the following output:

(gnome-control-center:24951): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 10:26:38.402: g_permission_acquire_finish: assertion 'G_IS_PERMISSION (permission)' failed
