My intention here is that the user manager is simpler, provides focused information and users can quickly identify information.

"Enable administrator for this user" -> "Allow user full access to this computer" (maybe... but I don't know that the word "administrator" means much to the average user)

I have also seen elsewhere something like:

"Allow administrator privileges..."
"Allow superuser privileges..."
"This user is an administrator"

The reason being that people in Linux generally will get the clue about Root and Administrator.

"Allow administrator privileges" sounds good to me.

I think there needs to be a section for managing groups for the user as well
Adding and removing user to per-existing groups etc is required and currently there is no GUI anywhere for it.

"Allow administrator privileges" sounds good to me.

Works for me

Code wise that's tricky, but that shouldn't dictate our UI.
Can we try and incorporate that into the design?

I actually already implemented that with the existing one: https://cgit.kde.org/user-manager.git/commit/?id=5c072eab10bd250dcf5c60f9d7b92e64577e19be

I would support this, too.

I've started working on a redesigned User KCM in https://invent.kde.org/nicolasfella/userkcm-ng

We should refrain from starting things from scratch.

Was a QML version of this KCM already in progress somewhere?

Not that I know of.

My comment was aimed at the fact that it's a new repo and not re-using the existing models.
We can do it in-place in a branch.

@nicolasfella any progress in this? can you please do it in-place in a branch like @davidedmundson said?

Maybe I already mentioned this somewhere else already, but user-manager is currently utterly bug-ridden.

I'd rather see it written from scratch since @nicolasfella already started doing that.

Having it in a separate repo was mostly for my own convenience, but I'll rebase it into the existing one
