Nice patch! Just a few comments:

 * We can link to the Users & Groups help directly (ghelp:users-admin)
 * You remove information on how to give a user administrative rights.
This isn't covered in the Users and Groups help, nor anywhere else, so
should probably go back in
 * The title doesn't include the word 'users' in the first 2-3 words,
which makes the topic more difficult to find in the sidebar
 * It might be better to mention that the name of the 'orange square' is
the 'update icon'. This is more sensible for colour-blind users, and is
still applicable if the user calls the icon the 'orange icon', 'star
icon' or similar. I think that we should include images of the icons in
this particular section, as there will be no localisation issue.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Phil
