Bug summary
when using a program that requires admin (ex:gparted), the authentification window to grant admin permission only shows one user.
Steps to reproduce
- install ubuntu 22.04 (mabe another version)
- add a non admin user
- launch an admin-only program (like gparted or disks)
What happened
it only let me log in with one user, currently "Administrator", though it used to be the admin I first added to the computer during installation
What did you expect to happen
provide a selection menu to allow me to select the administrator with wich to log in.
