If you want a different user to provision software, then use the -user and -client parameters of the rhpctl add workingcopy command. If the provisioning is for the cluster from where you run the command, then you do not need to specify the -client parameter. When the provisioning is completed, all files and directories of the provisioned software are owned by the user you specified. Permissions on files on the remotely provisioned software are the same as the permissions that existed on the gold image from where you provisioned the application software.
