Can't believe it has not been added yet... And seems relatively simple to implement... I don't code for some 30 years, but this seems definitely worth implementing. Maybe I can catch up someday... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Upgrading brltty (6.3-1 -> 6.3-2)... Please add your user to the brlapi group. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Yeah this seems like a bug in the KCM. When you create a new user, those kinds of basic group membership assignments should be done automatically. Can you file a separate bug report to track this? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365787 --- Comment #12 from Gauthier --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #11) > It will come when someone implements it. :) Fair enough :) but just to clarify, does it mean there is no one working on this currently as far as we know? Also I'd like to put out in relation to this that when creating a new user as administrator using System Settings, that user is only added to the sudo group and not to other groups like lpadmin (for printer management), plugdev, cdrom, etc. which are default groups set to the first "admin" user created when installing the system. So here is another "rather common" use case for needing to manage groups :). Or new admin users should be added to these groups by default to take away that use case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365787 Gauthier changed: What|Removed |Added CC||g.gue...@posteo.net --- Comment #9 from Gauthier --- Yep I also miss this feature. The first two use cases Nate mentioned are valid for me too. True that it can easily be done with a terminal but for full group management you have to remember (or look for) several commands whereas it is much more friendly with a gui. Also group management with a gui is a pretty basic feature that has been there for years with most distro / DE, it's a little weird for Plasma in 2020/1 not to have that, unless there had been an actual good reason to remove it (like say if groups in Linux had become obsolete). Of course it's not something users will use everyday (and many users will never use) and so it can be hidden in the System Settings GUI in an "advanced" section not to be confusing but be great if the function was there for those who do use it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

When we provided documentation to let them do it via the GUI on their Ubuntu-based systems, they were able to do it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
