Lite Control Center is back!
#9
I think "Lite User Manager" should also be executed under pkexec. Just noticed that it can't run under non admin accounts to modify users groups without having to be running under a sudoer account.

So, for sudoers it will still run as the user with pkexec and for non admins accounts it will prompt for a sudoer username and password and run as super user (root).

Another alternative is to replace "Lite User Manager" with "Users and Groups" in Lite Control Center. "Users and Groups" allows for elevation at running time:

My concern is that "Lite User Manager" might be easier to work with than "Users and Groups" for new users, hence replacing "Lite User Manager" with "Users and Groups" may not be a better solution after all; which brings us back to square 1: Running Lite User Manager under pkexec.

Anyone?

Sorry for seeming stupid and preferring Linux - I just don't know any better.
