There currently is not an option for this.  It is theoretically possible to 
modify SETUP.sh to do this, but it is not recommended.  SETUP.sh is designed 
to create the MBSE users (mbse & bbs) with the appropriate permissions and 
group memberships that allow them to perform their respective functions 
without issues.
