Hi all,

Looking to get some help with configuring user groups properly to modify files in an apache webroot. I have ran many apache instances in the past but mostly just myself or one other person needed access. I now have a setup where I would like two user groups to have access. One group should have access to the whole directory structure the other group access to only one folder in the site.

All website files are in /home/webroot/
Sites are in their own folder that reflects the damain they represent so full path to site files is /home/webroot/example.com/

I would like to allow a 'webmaster' group to have full control from example.com down and another 'content' group to have full access to /home/webroot/example.com/content/

All this while keeping apache's user and group able to serve and secure at the same time.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks
