I think the current solution for going into system settings is fine. As you can
imagine we get a lot of suggestions, if we implemented everything we'd end up
with buttons everywhere.  

Note clicking the avatar in the kde-menu also loads this module.

As for the super user thing - it shouldn't be the case.

However, it seems there was a bug usptream which I've now fixed.

the package "user-manager" was installed, so that isn't the solution.

My wish (I'd actually call it a bug in the overall UI experience) was and is to
have changing the system password for the logged-in user be easily accessible
and findable in places where users look for it.

@David, your closing as wontfix leaves me wondering weather the KDE community
doesn't want people using the plasma desktop have a trouble-free experience or
that you are saying that exactly what I want is already available. Or that you
consider the current situation to be trouble-free regarding changing
system-passwords for the logged-in user.

My wish is clearly to make it possible to change the system password from the
GUI via desktop-menu, or the kde-menu or some new and (more) intuitive GUI
element.

This should be possible for users without(!) superuser privileges (so no
ability to provide a sudo password).

system settings -> account details -> user manager.

It's possible user-manager is not installed, in which case install it and
complain to Kubuntu.
