I notice that pscheduler uses a non-system uid and gid of 1000:

This means that my "regular" CentOS user (created during the ISO
install) gets uid 1001 and gid 1004, which is messy.

In theory, system users should have uids and gids between 201 and 999.

As a practical matter, it doesn't make a difference unless the IDs have to be
the same across systems, such as when shared volumes are involved. Not
making pScheduler's user/groups system was an oversight on my part, but it's
a quick fix.

I've opened a ticket on this
(https://github.com/perfsonar/pscheduler/issues/694) and will ship it in the
next feature release (4.2) since it's technically not a bug.
