Answer 1

I recommend use the next plugin in Apache for specify a user in specific.

Note: This must be specified in the virtualhost.

apt install libapache2-mpm-itk
a2enmod mpm_itk

Example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName  {domain}

    <Directory /root>
        <ifmodule mpm_itk_module>
            AssignUserID    {user} {group}
        </ifmodule>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
