So it sounds like a PolicyKit issue. Please run
sudo killall polkitd; sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd
start users-admin, and click on a button that doesn't work. Then please attach the output here.

What happens if you run
export PID=`pidof gnome-settings-daemon`
pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set --allow-user-interaction --process $PID

Also, do you get an error message if you wait for a few minutes without closing users-admin, after clicking on a button?

(No need to create a new user if the current one is shown.)
