Proper way to change the user that Plex runs as in Ubuntu 14.04?

What is the proper way to change which user Plex runs as in Ubuntu 14.04? I tried changing it in /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service as described here and I tried changing it in /etc/defaults/plexmediaserver but neither seemed to have any effect. I also made sure to chown -R username:username /var/lib/plexmediaserver and to restart the service.

If I set the user variables back to "Plex" and chown back to plex:plex that it starts just fine, but I need Plex running as my user for this specific purpose.

Thanks!
