Title:
users-admin doesn't add "administrative" users to sudo group
Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
New
Bug description:
New "administrative" user accounts created with users-admin aren't
added to the sudo group. Prior versions added administrative users to
the admin group (which no longer exists in 12.04) rather than the sudo
group, which had the same effect in granting sudo permissions. This
means that so-called administrative accounts cannot perform
administrative tasks without first being manually added to /etc/group.
If a new administrative account is created and the account that was
created during installation is deleted, the user is effectively
permanently unable to perform any kind of administrative tasks.
