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.

adminAuth: {
type: "credentials",

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'.
