I just made a computer for four kids in Sri Lanka and had no problem adding 
them to the 'admin' group.  The KDE user manager you are talking about is 
KUser, right?
You probably already have the user created so open up KUser, highlight the 
user then click the edit icon on the top of the window.  Under the groups tab 
in the new window, scroll down until you get to the 'admin' group and check 
that,  Click the OK button, exit KUser and now that user can do updates and 
such.
