This attempts to prevent users from looking at other users files/directories, etc. via the web server.

Thank you

Is there any documentation on it ?

What kind of protection offer "web root protection" .
(Is'it a chroot of users ? Is it like php safe mode on which doesn't permit to execute php code outside /home/user ?)

Thank you

I opened a ticket and I received this reply :

===============
web root protection chown's the public_html of a user to user.nobody so only the user and nobody can access the files, therefore locking out any others from the public_html directory (good if you have shell users) It is suggested and is stable.
===============


It's time to leave "php safe mode on"

I think that was already said in another post about a month ago. You seem to be slightly behind the events.
