[PLUG] user accounts for application

[Rita via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I run a small lab which we use Jenkins to checkout, test, and deploy our software. Jenkins runs as the application id: postgres. 

I had a discussion with a colleague and she told me that she prefers running her builds as non-database/application specific user. 

Is there a reason why you would want to do this? It creates more hassles but they made be justified. I for one don't see any reason but I could be wrong.
