You need to edit the nodered.service file to point to the new user (or the user that will run Node-RED). The default install assumes the user pi.

i open ~/.node-red/settings.js file and edit this lines.

adminAuth: {
type: "credentials",
users: [{
username: "gconceicao",
password: "$2a$08$zZWtXTja0fB1pzD4sHCMyOCMYz2Z6dNbM6tl8sJogENOMcxWV9$

Group=pi
WorkingDirectory=/home/"user"
Nice=5

A minor clarification of this, if you run the upgrade script (from the pi installation docs) then it configures systemd to run node-red as the user that ran the script, which may or may not be the user 'pi'.
