Tweaking User privileges Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I would like to fine tune user privileges after reviewing default available privileges for a standard user.

Is there a way to fine tune it? I was using 10.04 and 10.10 until now and I could not find advanced settings in Users screen in 12.04.

I saw an older question here and want to confirm if this is still the right way for 12.04 or is there a better way?

Install gnome-system-tools with this command

 sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools

and then try using the old fried users-admin

Still users-admin is the tool to do that.
