Hi Richard, very interesting, you are right. The Bionic lxd.preinst script has:

# Add each admin user to the lxd group - for systems installed
# before precise
for u in $(getent group admin | sed -e "s/^.*://" -e "s/,/ /g"); do
    adduser "$u" lxd >/dev/null || true
done

I tried to install Bionic from the ISO image and I can confirm the admin group doesn't get automatically created at install time. This only affects Bionic as in >= Focal lxd is a snap, and I'm pretty sure the snap doesn't touch the groups.

I filed this bug against the lxd package for the lxd maintainers to have a look:

Thanks again for raising the issue!
