Hi @shanewjn,
Hi, yes the centos user is part of the system users. I’m not entirely sure what the user is used for but I’m positive it’s a system user.
As for the stop working part, I’m not sure. If you want to test it out, I’ll suggest creating a snapshot first and then removing the user. If you decide to do it, I’m eager to learn your output from the experiment.
