   There currently is not an option for this.  It is theoretically possible to    
   modify SETUP.sh to do this, but it is not recommended.  SETUP.sh is designed    
   to create the MBSE users (mbse & bbs) with the appropriate permissions and    
   group memberships that allow them to perform their respective functions    
   without issues.
