How to set a user for each nginx virtual server?

Question

PHP

There are a number of sites on one server. There is a task for each of the sites to create a user with limited access only to their own directory. I know only one place where you can register a user in nginx, this is in the nginx.conf file. How to do this for each site, I do not understand. Please help.

In principle, you can run several nginx instances on different ports, but IMHO this is nonsense. Nginx is a very efficient server and will handle all sites from a single instance. As for users for sites, it is customary to solve this using PHP-FPM, but there are no problems with this - you run several pools, each under its own user and with a separate socket. And then tell Nginx for each virtual host to use its own socket.
