Hi Everyone. Moved to Ubuntu Oneiric? New to Unity environment? Finding hard to find the options?
Don’t Panic. Everyone will feel the same if they try something new. Most of the people uses user groups in their machine for their work and other personal needs. Most of the thoughts of them are that, Ubuntu creates the groups automatically.
But the answer is NO. The User groups are not a part of the Ubuntu development side. The user account will never create user groups at all. Try searching for user groups and you can’t find it(unless and until you have the gnome package on it). Wanna know about the package which helps you to get the user groups?
Okay. The package that you have to install to get the User Groups is gnome-system-tools.
Just run the following command
apt-get install gnome-system-tools
If you are not logged in as a super user, then add sudo to the start of the code. (For newbies: Sudo is the command/built-in script that helps you do admin operations).
After installing that, run
users-admin
That will open the user groups screen for you and you can customize the groups.
Done with creation? Good. Go and enjoy your day with your machine 
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering where the group settings went off too. I am surprised that Canonical would have removed that.
works,thank you.
Help as many people as you can and make them do it to some others
Good luck.
Thank you for sharing. Very helpful.
Thank you…
very helpfulll
its works!!!
thanks son, you helped me with this
Thankyou so much for this.
I can’t believe this was removed. It is these little annoying things that prevent more users crossing over from the dark side (Wi$#*ws)
All is well and Good Luck Dimadee
or you can use GUI way, with gnome-system-tools…:)
