I have a python script running as www-data but I would like it to have separate r/w/e permissions to the rest of the scripts. So I created a user to use however can't get the script to run as that user (it's a cgi script and I want all but this one running as www-data). Is there anyway I can use os.setuid() to demote myself to this user?. It seems to work the other way around but not from www-data to new user

can you use `chmod` to modify this specific script permissions? – Sufiyan Ghori Apr 30 '18 at 23:15

@SufiyanGhori yes. I tried setting the setuid bit however apparently I would need to do it to the interpreter, not the script – Joseph Walden May 01 '18 at 06:31
