Red Hat Container Development Kit 3.5 - Installation Issue with Libvirt (KVM) Group Membership

If you follow the installation instructions for Red Hat's Container Development Kit 3.5, on RHEL 7.5, most everything works well, until you get to the point of starting the virtualized minishift host:



You get a failure when trying to connect to Docker on the VM.  The problem is that, if you strictly follow the instructions, your user is not a member of the 'libvirt' group.  This is easy to rectify, though.  All you need to do is:
