Hello Arturo! I remember you from the workshop, and I'm glad you are going to get your LDM and TDS up and running! To answer your question, you will want both a Tomcat user and an LDM user. Later on, you will want to run the Thredds Data Monitor (TDM) as the LDM user, as the TDM will need write permission into the same directories as the LDM. Let me know if you run into difficulty, and I will help you as I can.
