I noticed that container-base creates a "scoped" home directory (/home/scoped) and an env variable NB_USER=scoped, but doesn't look like it creates an actual "scoped" user account, so when you login in to jupyterlab (or into a shell) you are logged in as root. I'm working on getting specufex ready for the tutorial in May and added scoped as a user in its Dockerfile so that we don't have ~100 people with access to a root command line. Should we add the scoped user in the container-base images instead?
