**A Stack Overflow user is seeking guidance on setting up permissions for multiple users to access and edit PHP websites hosted on an Ubuntu Server 24.04 LAMP stack.** The user has created separate directories for each website under `/var/www/` and wants to ensure secure access for multiple users per site while maintaining Apache’s access.

The user aims to provide access to specific users:

* **Site1:** MyUser, Site1_UserA, Site1_UserB
* **Site2:** MyUser, Site2_UserA

The user has explored various solutions for multi-site access, including user_dirs, but finds it less suitable due to overlapping user access across multiple sites.

**The user is actively seeking advice from the Stack Overflow community on how to achieve secure multi-user access to their PHP websites.**
