<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>The <code class="directive">SuexecUserGroup</code> directive allows you
    to specify a user and group for CGI programs to run as. Non-CGI
    requests are still processed with the user specified in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_unixd.html#user">User</a></code> directive.</p>

    <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
    SuexecUserGroup nobody nogroup
    </pre>
</div>

    <p>In Apache httpd 2.3.9 and later, startup will fail if this
    directive is specified but the suEXEC feature is disabled.</p>
