36<h3>Summary</h3>
37
38    <p>This module provides authorization capabilities so that
39    authenticated users can be allowed or denied access to portions
40    of the web site. <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_authz_user.html">mod_authz_user</a></code> grants
41    access if the authenticated user is listed in a <code>Require user</code>
42    directive. Alternatively <code>Require valid-user</code> can be used to
43    grant access to all successfully authenticated users.</p>

67    <p>Setting the <code class="directive">AuthzUserAuthoritative</code>
68    directive explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows for
69    user authorization to be passed on to lower level modules (as defined
70    in the <code>modules.c</code> files) if there is <strong>no
71    user</strong> matching the supplied userID.</p>
72
73    <p>By default, control is not passed on and an unknown user
74    will result in an Authentication Required reply. Not
75    setting it to <code>Off</code> thus keeps the system secure and forces
76    an NCSA compliant behaviour.</p>
