Running administrative servers as non-root

Change permissions to the product installation directories to
allow
access to the administrative server when it "runs as" a non-root
ID. Do
one of the following:
Change the ownership of all files and directories under the
product_installation_root to the user and group that you want
the
administrative server to "run as."
Change the ownership of these specific files and directories to
the user
and group that you want the administrative server to "run as."
product_installation_root/bin/*
product_installation_root/config/*
product_installation_root/etc/*
product_installation_root/installedApps/*
product_installation_root/logs/*
product_installation_root/properties/*
product_installation_root/tranlog/*
product_installation_root/temp/*
Make sure that the user has write and execute privileges.

### Need to add product_installaiton_root/installableApps/*

If this directory is not changed, and it is still at root, users
will not be able to install applications.
Local fix
Give root acces to installableapps directory
