Bug ID: 371216
Summary: Users added from user-manager are useless right now
Product: user-manager
Version: 5.8.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcontrol module
Assignee: j...@jriddell.org
Reporter: nix.or....@gmail.com
>From a Distro point of view a new user need to be in some groups like video ,
audio , network
and so on.. to have working thing.
Right now we can have an default user or an admin one.
This is because accountsservice just define 2 types of users:
ACCOUNT_TYPE_STANDARD
defaults taken from useradd -> group users
ACCOUNT_TYPE_ADMINISTRATOR
taken from internal default wheel or taken form command line at compile
Without a way to modify the user users with just groups 'users' can't do much
in any kind Distro.
This could be fixed in 2 ways:
1) offer a option to modify users and run usermod on these
hacky right now since you need offer a UI option to put the user in groups a ,
b ,c
run accountsservice default and run usermod on the user..
2) get an patch ustream to allow additional groups for ACCOUNT_TYPE_STANDARD
3) a mix of both :)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add some user with user-manager
2.
3.
Actual Results:
User has just users as group or user+admin group without a way to modify
Expected Results:
option to add users with other groups
