  38 <h3>Summary</h3>
  39
  40     <p>This module authorizes access to files by comparing the userid used
  41     for HTTP authentication (the web userid) with the file-system owner or
  42     group of the requested file. The supplied username and password
  43     must be already properly verified by an authentication module,
  44     such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code> or
  45     <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_owner.html">mod_authz_owner</a></code>
  46     recognizes two arguments for the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code> directive, <code>file-owner</code> and
  47     <code>file-group</code>, as follows:</p>
  48
  49     <dl>
  50       <dt><code>file-owner</code></dt>
  51       <dd>The supplied web-username must match the system's name for the
  52       owner of the file being requested. That is, if the operating system
  53       says the requested file is owned by <code>jones</code>, then the
  54       username used to access it through the web must be <code>jones</code>
  55       as well.</dd>
  56
  57       <dt><code>file-group</code></dt>
  58       <dd>The name of the system group that owns the file must be present
  59       in a group database, which is provided, for example, by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_groupfile.html">mod_authz_groupfile</a></code> or <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_dbm.html">mod_authz_dbm</a></code>,
  60       and the web-username must be a member of that group. For example, if
  61       the operating system says the requested file is owned by (system)
  62       group <code>accounts</code>, the group <code>accounts</code> must
  63       appear in the group database and the web-username used in the request
  64       must be a member of that group.</dd>

  94       that lists all of their web-usernames, and that these usernames match
  95       the system's usernames that actually own the files on the server, then
  96       the following stanza would allow only the user himself access to his
  97       own files. User <code>jones</code> would not be allowed to access
