Which user group?
I'm making an account for my friend, and I just want him to have access to /var/www/hishomedirectory/
I want him to be able to do anything in that directory (rename files, delete, copy, move, upload, etc..), but not able to use apt-get or play with settings. Not a superuser either.
Which group is best?

How do I do that?
I added him with adduser, or useradd (can't remember). Can I do it with Webmin?

From webmin documentation:
"To make the user a part of a group, select it from the Member of group field. Any modules that the group has will be granted to the user in addition to modules that you select on this page, and any access control restrictions that apply to the group in those modules will apply to the user as well. See the Creating and editing Webmin groups section for more information on how to add new groups to the list."
