I just tested `web_user: www-user` on vanilla Trellis. Provision and deploy worked fine on a fresh AWS EC2 and a Digital Ocean droplet.

@debuggerpk Let us know if there is a specific context where changing `web_user` is a problem. We could put a note in the docs. I didn’t understand your statement "`www-user` is already a nologin user, or is made by nginx during installation." As far as I know, `root` is the only ssh user blocked on the Ubuntu AMI with AWS.
