I use Django with supervisor. My project folder is located in foouser directory, however in supervisor, I chose to run the deployment process using a different user, which was created by

$ adduser --disabled-login www

Hence user www does not have access to the media and static folders of the django project since they are under a different user directory. I feel that just making the file-permissions 0777 is not a proper way for allowing user www to have access to the static and media files. I also feel that it might be a security risk to run the deployment process under foouser which has more privileges compared to user www.

What is the best approach for this?

    You can change owner group of your media directory/files to www‘s group and give it full permission.

    Another option is to put your media files under a directory where www user has access, (may be you can use symlink/hardlink to bring directory owned by www under your django project media path).
