Research direction

Start by locating the node installer script and compare its expected user name with the installer documentation. Change the script's user name from dusk to duskadmin, then verify that the created user receives the documented permissions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Summary

The node installer checks for the existence of the dusk user and creates it if it doesn't exist. Relevant permissions are also assigned to this user.

In all node installer documentation, this dusk user is named duskadmin but in the node installer script, the user is named dusk. This discrepancy is a bit confusing and leads to slightly frustrating situations where the created duskadmin user doesn't have the required permissions to do things it should be able to do.

Solution

Change the expected user name from dusk to duskadmin in the node installer script.
