Author User creation for BEA WLS 8.1 install and operation (UNIX)

Can anyone give me guidance on the appropriate user for the
installation and operation of BEA WLS 8.1 on UNIX (HP-UX)?

It my first time installing this application and I was expecting to be
told to create an o/s user and group which would own the application
at the O/S level. The documentation from BEA at
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/install/index.html is good but does
not allude to the install user/group etc. Can anyone provide guidance
? I am looking for a solution similar to Oracle installation where
root is not involved in the general operation/administration.

In case anyone is interested, here's the procedure I followed on
hp-ux:

1. Create bea userID and bea group with home directory /apps/bea
2. Created logical volume for /apps/bea ( 2.0 Gb in size).
3. Downloaded binary install and gave ownership to bea.
4. Logged in as this user, set umask 022, exported display (was using
cygwin) and ran installer.
5. Install process was pretty straightforward. I was only using jms
queues so the configuration process was pretty easy.
6. Finally, installed my license from bea using the script
updatelicense.sh installed in the /apps/bea directory.
