By that, do you mean "you run nginx as user1", or something else?

Only if user "user1" has permission to change userid to user "nginx".

When I try it, I see

nginx: [warn] the "user" directive makes sense only if the
master process runs with super-user privileges, ignored in
/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:6

and my master process and my worker process are running under the same
uid as each other.

Do you see something different?
