<p>This module is designed to be the fallback module, if you don't
have configured an authorization module like
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_authz_user.html">mod_authz_user</a></code> or <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_authz_groupfile.html">mod_authz_groupfile</a></code>.
It simply rejects any authorization request.</p>

<p>Setting the <code class="directive">AuthzDefaultAuthoritative</code> directive
explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows for authorization to be passed on
to lower level modules (as defined in the <code>modules.c</code>
files).</p>
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
<p>Normally there are no lower level modules, since
<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_authz_default.html">mod_authz_default</a></code> is defined to be already on
a <em>very low</em> level. Therefore you should leave the value of
<code class="directive">AuthzDefaultAuthoritative</code> as default
(<code>On</code>).</p>
