Open the terminal and log in as root or use sudo for administrative privileges.

Add a new user (replace "newuser" with your desired username):

bash

sudo adduser newuser
Set a password for the new user:

bash
sudo passwd newuser

Create a new group specifically for users with access to /var/www/html:

bash
sudo addgroup webgroup

Add the user to the webgroup:

bash

sudo usermod -aG webgroup newuser
Change the ownership of the /var/www/html directory and its subdirectories
to the webgroup:

bash

sudo chown -R :webgroup /var/www/html
Adjust the directory permissions to allow the group to read, write
and execute:

bash

sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html

Change user's home directory to the web resources folder for ease of sftp and ssh
access for web dev
sudo usermod -d /var/www/html -m newuser
