I created a user in anaconda during installation of TC3 using x86_64 netinstall iso on Virtualbox VM. The user created during install is under group 'root' although I did not specify it to be that way. After I booted to my installed OS, GNOME asked me to create another user. This user is with its own group.
Is this behavior intended? Why is the first user part of the user group? Sorry, if this has already been discussed before - I did not find any information in my searches so far ...

I asked the same question within the thread with subject "Install Advanced User options..."
The answer is that it is planned that if a user is added during the install phase it will be skipped when booted....
From that thread....
Also, wouldn't it be preferable to have "firstboot" (if that is what it is called now) skip the user creation dialog if a user was created during the install?
Yes, that is the plan, but it's not implemented yet.
Firstboot is dead now, the new tools are called initial-setup and gnome-initial-setup (yes, there are two of them, it's another loads of fun we need to deal with).

Ah! Thanks for the response Ed. I am only in the beginning stages of your thread! Thanks again.

Aside from that, though, the fact that users created by anaconda are in the 'root' group sounds like a bug, and a fairly bad one: you should definitely file that. Thanks!
