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
Specify 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
