Description Peter 2022-02-21 17:56:35 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
Build Identifier: 

When creating the first user account, it will properly create its usergroup, and the user gets this set as their default group, but the installer also creates a group named "user", which as far as I know is not needed anymore for new installations.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the latest Tumbleweed installer ISO for x86_64
2. Do a basic installation
3. Let the system reboot itself when completed
Actual Results:  
The "users" group is to be found.

Expected Results:  
The "users" group is not to be found.

I was informed that recently you changed how you set up the system for usergroups. This bug is related to that change.

Comment 2 Thorsten Kukuk 2022-02-21 22:31:32 UTC 
The system user "users" group is created by the corresponding RPM and sysusers.d config file and it is of course still required, even if not used by default on your system.
