From a Distro point of view a new user need to be in some groups like video , audio , network and so on.. to have working thing. Right now we can have an default user or an admin one. This is because accountsservice just define 2 types of users: ACCOUNT_TYPE_STANDARD defaults taken from useradd -> group users ACCOUNT_TYPE_ADMINISTRATOR taken from internal default wheel or taken form command line at compile Without a way to modify the user users with just groups 'users' can't do much in any kind Distro. This could be fixed in 2 ways: 1) offer a option to modify users and run usermod on these hacky right now since you need offer a UI option to put the user in groups a , b ,c run accountsservice default and run usermod on the user.. 2) get an patch ustream to allow additional groups for ACCOUNT_TYPE_STANDARD 3) a mix of both :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add some user with user-manager 2. 3. Actual Results: User has just users as group or user+admin group without a way to modify Expected Results: option to add users with other groups
Isnt that a basic thing to do for a user-manager? How can this be called ready for production?
