    initial v1  
    1 I've experienced similar issues. [[BR]] I was running BOINC 6.12.34 as a service, and upgraded to 7.0.25 normal mode (but with all users having the ability to control BOINC). When I logged in to my Administrator account, BOINC started and I could launch the GUI. But when I logged on to a standard user account BOINC did not appear to start; when I launched the GUI and selected to attach to localhost I got the error message about not belonging to boinc_users. 
     1I've experienced similar issues. [[BR]]I was running BOINC 6.12.34 as a service (with all users able to control BOINC), and upgraded to 7.0.25,  but no longer running as a service (though still with all users having the ability to control BOINC). When I logged in to my Administrator account, BOINC started and I could launch the GUI. But when I logged on to a standard user account BOINC did not appear to start properly (no tasks were started); when I launched the GUI and selected to attach to localhost I got the error message about not belonging to boinc_users.

    3 I followed the suggestions above to manually add the standard user into the boinc_users group (surely the installer should have done this automatically for me?), but this did not resolve the problem.

    5 I uninstalled 7.0.25 and reinstalled 7.0.25 as a service again. Now everything is fine (all users can access the GUI and control BOINC), but sadly this prevents me from using my GPU or VirtualBox (for Test4Theory).

     7[[BR]] This defect appears to be related to (or a duplicate of) ticket #1025.  [[BR]] Since ticket 1025 is flagged as a Blocker, I'm very surprised the 7.0 series has become the recommended client with this defect still in place.
