    System admins. I've tried to add me to group KDE, but there is no possibility to do this, right?

    What is the use case for this feature in a normal situation? I think that you only wanted to add you to the group for developing and testing propose.

    I want to be a member of the KDE group in BibSonomy, and @jeillig, too. I sent a lot of requests, but without any answer. I think the easiest way is to add me by myself to this group.

    OK that's annoying but not critical, there are other ways to get you in this group. I have sent some workarounds to Jens per IM.

    Is this still critical? I guess this is more kind of a fundamental decision (how much should admins be able to do with other users?) instead of a proper feature.

    As @nosebrain already mentioned, it is possible for admins to add users to a group by accessing the database manually. A function like this should probably not exist in userspace.
