Description:
I installed the dashboard with a bundled MySQL db.
I noticed that after this install the service_manager user seems to have copied the "root" user and had multiple grants configured. This is completely unnecessary since the instance is local.

How to repeat:
* Install the dashboard
* suggest the service manager username as say service_manager.
* check the rights after having done this.

You'll see:

'service_manager'@'127.0.0.1'
'service_manager'@'::1'
'service_manager'@'my.fully.qualified.hostname.com'
'service_manager'@'localhost'

Suggested fix:
Given you install the bundled MySQL server configure it with proper grants,
and then configure the service_manager with a single user that's probably "localhost", using a socket.
