Actually, each /local/APPUSER is the base of the clone - dev environment on master/main, test env on 'test' and prod env 
on 'production'.

Depending on the deployment we're either logging in directly as the application, or as common or admin accounts that 
have access over multiple application directory trees. The applications themselves each have their own userid for 
permissions isolation.
