<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>

    <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>

</table>
    <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>
