User Accounts window cannot change user privileges

[peterzay]

In prior releases of Ubuntu, it was possible to fine tune user privileges for specific features of the system.

This functionality now appears to be gone from the GUI for User Accounts.

Is this intentional or an oversight?

I was being polite by phrasing this BUG as a question.

Sweeping it under the carpet does the entire Ubuntu community a considerable disservice.

Please resolve this prior to the April production release of Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin.

Administrators out there will be grateful.
