Tweaking the configuration here might work for your case:

$ grep PCP_USER /etc/pcp.conf
PCP_USER=pcp

There's some examples of setting up an appropriate user account
in the spec files that you could use ...

$ grep useradd git/pcp/build/rpm/fedora.spec | grep "pcp$"
useradd -c "Performance Co-Pilot" -g pcp -d %{_localstatedir}/lib/pcp -M -r -s 
/sbin/nologin pcp

cheers.
