what happens if you run "sudo users-admin" in a terminal ?

first of all its not really clear what you want to achieve with the
above. to me it looks like you want access to the users-admin for
everyone, if thats the case, make sure to revert *all* changes you did
and make a proper entry in /etc/sudoers ("man sudoers" should have all
information you need for that) by using visudo.
