For Bionic kuser is no longer supported by KDE because it doesn't have a developer, apparently.
This link gives a solution by Rog131, but installing lxqt-admin would require the installation of 86 additional packages, which I don't want to do. And, the cli tools aren't that swift. "users" and "groups" only print the names of groups the user is in, or the names of users in a group. No help.
Also, the boss asked me to burn a CD for her. No problemo, I thought, just fire up trusty K3b. Wrong. It's no longer trusty..
It says to edit the device settings, but the device is /dev/sr0, and doesn't need a permission change. And, I am in the cdrom group.
I thought that perhaps the failure of K3b was related to permissions or groups, which is why I wanted to install kuser. Guess no. These are the first two times Bionic has disappointed me.
EDIT: My memory is so bad I didn't remember posting this about K3b back in April.

EDIT2:
I did the following:
Except that cdrtools was not in brandon Snider's PPA. Was was in it was cdrecord, Installing it
sudo apt install cdrecord
I was able to burn a CD just as easy as I remembered K3b to be to use.
