How to manage user groups?

[joneall]

I started a thread about this for Neon 18.04 and closed it when I found the response. However, that method, using

System Settings > Personalization > Account Details > User Manager

no longer works. There is no "Account details" under Personalization and no "User Manager" anywhere I can find.

Do I (Can I) edit /etc/group by hand? And what became of /etc/users?

I don't think that there has been an /etc/users file, /etc/passwd has that info, actual passwords are stored in /etc/shadow. I don't think either file is supposed to be edited directly, much like the sudoers file.

For GUI tools:
The [https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...ost421197]very last post on the link you posted[/url] links to using the Lxqt user manager to do this from a gui, since the old Kuser tool became unmaintained.

The basic instructions should still be valid.

Else do it the 'hard' way:
