As far as I know the user created during install will be added to various groups by the installer. In the traditional setup all other users and / or groups that get added later must be managed manually by the administrator. I'm guessing either the 'render' group was added since your system was last installed, or it wasn't in the installer's list of groups the first user should be a member of (or both). With systemd-logind some permissions are managed dynamically, e.g. locally logged in users should automatically get permission to use the available hardware (audio, video, etc.), reboot / shutdown the system if no other users are logged in, etc. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
