Description Vagner Lunes 2023-01-02 18:47:22 UTC 
The "Users" configuration module adds a user to the `wheel` group when making them an Administrator, but fails to remove them from the group afterwards when setting them back to a Standard user.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. (optional) Create a new user to test this with
2. Make this new user an "Administrator" and apply your new setting
3. Make the new user "Standard" again
4. List users within the `wheel` group somehow (such as running `cat /etc/group | grep wheel`)

OBSERVED RESULT
The user continues to be part of the `wheel` group after being set to Standard

EXPECTED RESULT
The user should have been removed from the group as to not have Administration privileges anymore.

Confirmed, but our code doesn't do this; it seems like it's a regression in AccountsService, which does the heavy lifting for us. Please report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/groups/accountsservice/-/issues. Thanks!
