+
+ <p>Apache's <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code>
+ directives are used during the authorization phase to ensure that
+ a user is allowed to access a resource. mod_authz_groupfile extends the
+ authorization types with <code>group</code> and <code>group-file</code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Since v2.4.8, <a href="../expr.html">expressions</a> are supported
+ within the groupfile require directives.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="reqgroup" id="reqgroup">Require group</a></h3>
+
+ <p>This directive specifies group membership that is required for the
+ user to gain access.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require group admin</pre>
+
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="reqfilegroup" id="reqfilegroup">Require file-group</a></h3>
+
+ <p>When this directive is specified, the filesystem permissions on
+ the file being accessed are consulted. The user must be a member of
+ a group with the same name as the group that owns the file.
+ See <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_owner.html">mod_authz_owner</a></code> for more
+ details.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">AuthGroupFile</code> directive sets the
name of a textual file containing the list of user groups for user
- authentication. <var>File-path</var> is the path to the group
+ authorization. <var>File-path</var> is the path to the group
file. If it is not absolute, it is treated as relative to the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>.</p>
<p>Each line of the group file contains a groupname followed by a
<div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>

- <p>Setting the <code class="directive">AuthzGroupFileAuthoritative</code>
- directive explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows for
- group authorization to be passed on to lower level modules (as defined
- in the <code>modules.c</code> files) if there is <strong>no
- group</strong> matching the supplied userID.</p>
-
- <p>By default, control is not passed on and an unknown group
- will result in an Authentication Required reply. Not
- setting it thus keeps the system secure and forces an NCSA
- compliant behaviour.</p>
-
- <div class="warning"><h3>Security</h3>
- <p>Do consider the implications of allowing a user to
- allow fall-through in his <code>.htaccess</code> file; and verify
- that this is really what you want; Generally it is easier to just
- secure a single <code>.htpasswd</code> file, than it is to secure
- a database which might have more access interfaces.</p>
