You can change it by overriding the .desktop file locally. Also we have a patch for not requiring root on user manager pending merging upstream. The avatar doesnt need admin currently As we only have one user manager shipped in plasma. I'm closing this. Sorry. |
It would be wonderful if the action when clicking the avatar was configurable instead of hardcoded to run user-manager. Some time ago, kcm_useraccount was replaced by user-manager. Unfortunately user-manager is something the admin would use to change other users on the system and everything it does seems to require root (including changing the password or the avatar). This means I can't suggest to my users the simple step of opening the menu and clicking on the avatar to change their password or avatar. Instead I'd have to try to force a cal to the old kcm_useraccount or a custom written program into their favorites. (It needs to be blindingly obvious.) If I could just have it call a command that I can configure instead of hardcoding KCMShell.open("user_manager"), that would go a long way towards making things easier for non-provileged (and non-technical) end users. I'll see if I can learn enough qml to suggest a patch. Reproducible: Always
