What have you tried? Tomcat runs via apache, so maybe you need to add the user or group apache to the group. Apple uses Directory Server, so you will need to use dscl for some of the permissions. You can search for "dscl add user to group".
These commands run on the command line. Some users and groups that are not visible to you in System Preferences--> Users & Groups. You must use dscl for those accounts.
Display group memberships:
dscl . read /Groups/appserveradmin GroupMembership
Add user:
dscl . append /Groups/appserveradmin GroupMembership apache
Remove user:
dscl . delete /Groups/appserveradmin GroupMembership apache
