Question Files in work directory reverting to root ownership

Hi,

I have a problem with a Unix server we do not adminster but have an application running on.

The problem is that overnight, files in the /user4/work directory revert to root ownership. This causes problems as we cannot process the files.

1) What would be causing files to revert to root access in a work directory?
2) Is this normal practice?

Thanks in advance

owner and root can change the ownership.
Possible causes would be cronjobs of both. Especially houseclean cronjob.
