SuexecUserGroup Directive

Description: User and group permissions for CGI programs
Syntax: SuexecUserGroup User Group
Context: server config, virtual host
Status: Extension
Module: mod_suexec
Compatibility: SuexecUserGroup is only available in 2.0 and later.

The SuexecUserGroup directive allows you to specify a user and group for CGI programs to run as. Non-CGI requests are still processes with the user specified in the User directive. This directive replaces the Apache 1.3 configuration of using the User and Group directives inside of VirtualHosts.
