Chapter 18. Apache Configuration
Group
Group groupname
[ server config or within <VirtualHost>]
Specifies the group you want the server to process requests as. Either a group name or group ID can be specified; a group ID should be preceded by a hash mark (#). Setting this option to the same group as the superuser (i.e., root) is highly discouraged. Many administrators use the group nobody for the Apache server.
