It’s relatively straightforward to change the user for PMS; a systemctl edit plexmediaserver should get you started. Of course after that you’ll need to chown -R /var/lib/plexmediaserver and any other locations which PMS cares about. For Kodi, there’s likely a similar procedure.

sudo systemctl stop plexmediaserver
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo chown -R kodi /var/lib/plexmediaserver
sudo chgrp -R kodi /var/lib/plexmediaserver

sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver

That did the trick! Thanks!
