The Require Directives

Apache's Require directives are used during the authorization phase to ensure that a user is allowed to access a resource. mod_authz_user extends the authorization types with user and valid-user.

Since v2.4.8, expressions are supported within the user require directives.

Require user

This directive specifies a list of users that are allowed to gain access.

Require user john paul george ringo

Require valid-user

When this directive is specified, any successfully authenticated user will be allowed to gain access.

Require valid-user
