No. Authentication happens through PolicyKit, and PolicyKit does not know about "procer3d". $ cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/51-ubuntu-admin.conf [Configuration] AdminIdentities=unix-group:sudo;unix-group:admin As you can see it does know about the unix group "sudo", and accounts of the type "Administrator" belong to "sudo". So one way is to do as Jeremy suggested and change those users accounts to be "Administrator". Another way is to tell PolicyKit what you want. You can do so by creating the file /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/52-my-admin.conf and giving it this contents: [Configuration] AdminIdentities=unix-group:sudo;unix-group:admin;unix-group:procer3d You can read more about it in "man pklocalauthority".

Adding to a sudo-enabled group is not enough? Since /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow do not have 'account type' fields, what does it mean to be an administrator? Belong to the admin group? adm? sudo? Why did gnome-control-center asked specifically for patola's password? What if there were two people with 'administrator' types? Should it instead ask for the root password then?

You need to set patola's Account Type to Administrator for patola to be able to make changes to User Accounts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768995 Title: The "Unlock" button of user administration asks for wrong user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1768995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
