7 This is a list of users that should be allowed to login to this service. Names starting with
8 '@', '+' and '&' are interpreted using the same rules as described in the
9 <parameter moreinfo="none">invalid users</parameter> parameter.
13 If this is empty (the default) then any user can login. If a username is in both this list
14 and the <parameter moreinfo="none">invalid users</parameter> list then access is denied
19 The current servicename is substituted for <parameter moreinfo="none">%S</parameter>.
20 This is useful in the [homes] section.
23 <para><emphasis>Note: </emphasis>When used in the [global] section this
24 parameter may have unwanted side effects. For example: If samba is configured as a MASTER BROWSER (see
25 <parameter moreinfo="none">local master</parameter>,
26 <parameter moreinfo="none">os level</parameter>,
27 <parameter moreinfo="none">domain master</parameter>,
28 <parameter moreinfo="none">preferred master</parameter>) this option
29 will prevent workstations from being able to browse the network.
