| <h3>Summary</h3> |
| |
| <p>This module provides authorization capabilities so that |
| authenticated users can be allowed or denied access to portions |
| of the web site by group membership. Similar functionality is |
| provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_dbm.html">mod_authz_dbm</a></code>.</p> |

| <h2><a name="requiredirectives" id="requiredirectives">The Require Directives</a></h2> |
| |
| <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> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require file-group</pre> |

| </table> |
| <p>The <code class="directive">AuthGroupFile</code> directive sets the |
| name of a textual file containing the list of user groups for user |
| 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 |
| colon, followed by the member usernames separated by spaces.</p> |
| |
| <div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code> |
| mygroup: bob joe anne |
| </code></p></div> |
| |
| <p>Note that searching large text files is <em>very</em> |
| inefficient; <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_dbm.html#authdbmgroupfile">AuthDBMGroupFile</a></code> provides a much better performance.</p> |
| |
| <div class="warning"><h3>Security</h3> |
| <p>Make sure that the <code class="directive">AuthGroupFile</code> is |
| stored outside the document tree of the web-server; do <em>not</em> |
| put it in the directory that it protects. Otherwise, clients may |
| be able to download the <code class="directive">AuthGroupFile</code>.</p> |
