Well, on my system (and most, if not all, other linux/unix systems I've seen), $USER1 is indeed your login name, but $USER2 (group) is *not* the same, commonly I'd expect a normal user to be a member of group "users". > Second, $USER1 ought to be your Linux login username.

As I said "$USER1==$USER2" would be strange... for OP: Something else that *may* play a role (based on some other questions about access I've seen): are you by any chance using a snap package for version 3.2.1, and a different install method for 3.0.2?
