# ./install.sh -h
Usage: ./install.sh [-d DIR ] [-u|-g] [-U user]
  -d : install directory default is root /
  -g : do not install gui modules
  -u : do not generate uid.txt
  -U : user for files permissions
  -h : this help

The best option is to use the option -U in the installation script :

#./install.sh -U user:group

If you want to run Asterisk without using the standard asterisk user, and doing that yourself, follow those steps.

[root]# chown -R user:group /etc/asterisk/
[root]# chown -R user:group /var/spool/asterisk/
[root]# chown -R user:group /var/lib/asterisk/
[root]# chown -R user:group /var/log/asterisk/

[root]# chown -R user:group /var/log/voximal/
[root]# chown -R user:group /var/cache/voximal/
[root]# chown -R user:group /var/lib/voximal/vxml  #(for local VoiceXML pages)
[root]# chown -R user:group /usr/share/voximal/

Check the deamon script and charge the reference to asterisk:asterisk to the chosen user:group.

Example (with Centos 7 script) :

[Unit]
Description=Asterisk PBX and telephony daemon
Wants=network.target
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=user  # instead of asterisk
Group=group  # instead of asterisk
Environment=HOME=/var/lib/asterisk
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/asterisk
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/asterisk -f -C /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
ExecStop=/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'core stop now'
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'core reload'

# safe_asterisk emulation
Restart=always
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

If you installation uses the FreePBX interface, you can manage the Voximal configuration/using from there.
