That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/41330 "When using NIS, the gnome control center only shows the local groups. I cannot change the privileges of a NIS user from this panel to permit use of the CD writer, etc. ... "
According to its developer(s), gnome-system-tools is not under active development anymore. Functionality has been mostly integrated into GNOME Control Center / "[System] Settings". It is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
