Title: users-admin doesn't add "administrative" users to sudo group Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu: 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.
