In Fedora 21, I changed the user account type from standard to an administrator. Now, I want to change it back via UI but the option that I used before (Settings → Users → Account type) doesn't work anymore. How can I change the user account type?

First determine the groups the user belongs to from a terminal.

groups USER

In the following command type only the groups that you wan't to keep being in, administrator accounts are usually part of the wheel or sudo group, so don't type that one in.

usermod -G GROUP1,GROUP2 USER

The man page for usermod(8) has more information.

man 8 usermod
