Assign Groups to User (settings)

[Marcellot]

Why is it not possible to manage user groups or assign groups to a user in zorin os? The corresponding selection is missing in the user administration.

I can only guess, but I suspect it's simply because this was not included due to not being a very common setting. Not that I necessarily agree with this decision, but again, this is just my best guess.

I found this tool available through the Software Store called "Users and Groups" which seems it was included in earlier versions of GNOME. It still works, despite the dated look:

Otherwise, if you are comfortable using the terminal, you can use that to manage user groups. For example, to assign a user called "zenzen" to the group "libvirt"

sudo usermod -aG libvirt zenzen

I've reassigned the thread to Feedback as this is something that may be considered for inclusion by the developers.
