title: Adding user to group chrome-remote-desktop - Failed to access group. Is the user a member?
body: <p>I created an instance with Debian 9 and was following the instructions on Google's site <a href="https://cloud.google.com/solutions/chrome-desktop-remote-on-compute-engine" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.  I have done this before successfully.  All was going fine, but now when I do this part:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DISPLAY= /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host \
      --code="4/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
      --redirect-url="https://remotedesktop.google.com/_/oauthredirect" \
      --name=
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the error </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Adding user newuser_gmail_com to group chrome-remote-desktop
    ERROR:Failed to access chrome-remote-desktop group. Is the user a
    member?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me out here?   I notice that when I did this previously, the username create was not newuser_gmail_com, but rather simply newuser.  Any suggestions you have would be much appreciated.   Many thanks! </p>
