DenyUser [ ["AND"|"OR"|"regex"] user-expression]

Default

None

Context

<Limit>

Module

mod_core

Compatibility

1.1.7 and later

Description

DenyUser specifies a user-expression that is specifically denied within the context of the <Limit> block it is applied to. user-expression is a comma delimited list of users or "not" users (by prefixing a user name with the `!' character).

By default, the expression is parsed as a boolean "OR" list, meaning that ANY elements of the expression must evaluate to logically true in order to the explicit deny to apply. In order to treat the expression as a boolean "AND" list, meaning that ALL of the elements must evaluate to logically true, use the optional "AND" keyword. Similarly, to treat the expression as a regular expression, use the "regex" keyword.
