An application’s CGI scripts have permissions similar to a customer’s CGI scripts. They are also executed with mod_suexec. However, access to these scripts is maximally restricted for the customer.

httpdocs/

rwxr-x---

A place for application’s documents. It is similar to the customer’s httpdocs, except for the ownership. The customer does not have access to this directory. In rare cases for applications which store auto-generated files in this directory, write access is given to the customer’s system user (ownership displayed in the brackets).
