shoud root start the gsoap stand alone server

I have created a Gsoap stand-alone server. I am looking to have 3 versions of the GSoap server on one host machine (one version is to be used for development, another for testing and a final for production). Of course, each will reside on a different port.

I also saw this link: How to deploy a gSOAP Web Service in Ubuntu?

I am wondering which user should start the server - should it be root or some other user?

TIA
