I just installed PMS on a fresh Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS install and I would like to run Plex under a different user then ‘Plex’. Should I just edit the /lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service file? And then of course chown ‘/var/lib/plexmediaserver/’. As I am new to systemd I have some concerns …

Proper way to run Plex as another user with systemd [Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS]?
