The easiest way to do this is to have them all owned by the account which runs Tomcat, with rwx access for owner. The documentation calls that account 'tomcat', but on your system Tomcat may have been installed to use an account with a different name. Whatever that account is called, it should own the files that make up the installed instance of DSpace ([dspace]). The build directory ([dspace-source]) can be owned by any account you choose. You just need a way to run the installer so that it can read the [dspace-source] directory tree and write the [dspace] directory tree. There is no need for a separate 'dspace' account. We need to finish removing that from the documentation. DSpace does not know or care about OS accounts. Tomcat has to care because it is what needs the permissions -- DSpace runs inside Tomcat and uses Tomcat's permissions. -- Mark H.
