<p>Can the user be added to the group that owns the web directory with the Symlink to that web directory? </p>
<p>I have done that on RedHat, and Debian boxes in the past. </p>
<p>Though it can cause security issues if you host multiple virtual sites all with the same group ownership. </p>

How else would I be able to limit this user to just the /web directory for the site?</span><!-- o ignored --></p>
