Correct, the problem occurred before ever opening users-admin. I agree
with moving the bug after the remaining rights issue is resolved.

Terminal log below. The account having the problem is "tristan". The
account that didn't experience problems is "kateryna". Note though that
the kateryna account does not have the administer permission nor the
"configure printers" permission, so the groups are expected to be
different. But I do still appear to be missing a permission that she
has: "floppy". There doesn't appear to be an entry for that in users-
admin (unless it has an unrelated name ...).

tris...@tinygod4:~$ cat 
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/51-ubuntu-admin.conf 
[Configuration]
AdminIdentities=unix-group:admin
tris...@tinygod4:~$ groups
tristan adm dialout fax cdrom tape audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev 
admin sambashare
tris...@tinygod4:~$ sudo su kateryna
[sudo] password for tristan: 
kater...@tinygod4:/home/tristan$ groups
kateryna adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev fuse netdev 
sambashare
kater...@tinygod4:/home/tristan$ exit
exit
tris...@tinygod4:~$

I can use Update Manager as myself just fine.
