Is it safe to set a password for the "lvuser" account?

It is possible to use passwd to assign a password to the native "lvuser" account (https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P9unSAC )

 

My question is: Is it safe to do so? Will this break LabVIEW Real-Time or any other Linux RT subsystems?

 

I'm asking becaused I'd like to let system administrators log into the cRIO via SFTP and upload files as "lvuser". Currently, they are doing it using the "admin" account, but newly uploaded files will be owned by "admin" so they must remember to manually transfer ownership to "lvuser".

Im interested in doing the same. Have you found a solution? One workaround might be to set the umask for all sftp logins to not restrict write access for new files. New files will still be owned by admin, but lvuser will have access to read and write, however so will all other users, so not ideal.
