Can you think of a way to un-'hide' it, preferably without sending
command-line shy first-timers running behind the sofa and cowering in
fear?

Anyway, if you don't want to use the 'hidden' commands you could always

      * System->Administration->Users and Groups
      * Unlock
      * Manage Groups
      * Select the group Properties, add users.

I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time :-)
