Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

This is a wishlist priority item, please change that as I don't have
that kind of access.

I think it would be much easier to understand and control current
account privileges if there were a tabular format.

Across the top slanted ( like / ) diagonally would be the descriptions
of the tasks/groups.  No-privilege user groups (suitable for even the
guest account) should have one background color, while normal user
groups should have another, and sys-admin groups a final color.

Each permission could also have an icon to use instead of the check-
mark.  An outline (or something) of the icon if 'unchecked' while a full
icon if 'checked'.

This would allow for many users to be displayed on screen at once, more
than enough for a typical home system, and potentially enough for some
quick verification/comparison in a corporate environment.

Much of this data is already available, but in far less user friendly
sub-menus that do not allow for such rapid comprehension and
modification.
