Dunno what's *typical*, but the important thing is that the user under which Tomcat runs must own or otherwise have full access to all of the DSpace files and directories or you will have recurring pain. IIRC the installation instructions assume that you are installing Tomcat from source solely for running DSpace. If you are installing Tomcat from your distribution's package manager then the manager probably "knows" what user account it wants, and in that case I would advise having the DSpace files and directories owned by whatever account that is and forget about the "dspace" user. Or, if Tomcat has other work to do besides DSpace, it might be confusing to have files belonging to (say) Jenkins owned by 'dspace' (whoever that is) so I would have it all belong to 'tomcat'. -- Mark H.
