I am on CentOS 7. Magento offers a command line utility - bin/magento which can do a number of things such as enable or disable modules, clear cache etc. It also creates files. I ran the Magento command as root and the files it
created were owned by root.

I tried to become the apache user with command : su - apache  which
returned "This account is currently not available."

If you look in /etc/passwd , you'll probably see that the shell for the apache user is /sbin/nologin. This means that the apache user has no shell, is not allowed to log in, and you can't use su to become that user. A lot of the non-user users on Redhat-ish systems are set up like that.

At this point I have to become root and do a chown apache -R magento-directory.

If you're going to be changing the files in apache's DocumentRoot frequently, then why not make it so that those files are owned by your user instead of apache? That'd make it a heck of a lot more convenient. Changing the ownership of apache's config files is potentially less useful because IIRC restarting apache requires you to be root anyway.
