| Syntax: | user user [ group ] |
| Default: | nobody nobody |
| Context: | main |
| Reference: | user |
If the master process is run as root, then nginx will setuid()/setgid() to USER/GROUP. If GROUP is not specified, then nginx uses the same name as USER. By default it's nobody user and nobody or nogroup group or the --user=USER and --group=GROUP from the ./configure script.
Example:
user www users;
