How do I enable admin mode in System Settings in kde4

Asked by n2fastbikes

When I open System Settings in kde4 on Kubuntu 8.04, there is no administrator mode option, nor is there a User Management section. How do I enable admin mode in System Settings and manage users in KDE4? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I figured out a workaround after reading many other posts on multiple forums: Install the KDE Control Center and KUser KDE User Manager applications from the command line. Type:

     sudo apt-get install kcontrol
     sudo apt-get install kuser

Then execute these GUI programs from the command line:

     kdesudo kcontrol
     kdesudo kuser

kcontrol opens the KDE Control Center GUI and allows changes to system settings with admin privileges.
kuser opens up the KDE User Manager GUI and allows user management with admin privileges.
