+ <para>
+ Setting this parameter to <value type="example">yes</value> allows
+ the default idmap back-end to be switched to a read only mode, which
+ means that it can not allocate new user or group IDs to create new
+ mappings. Normally, the default idmap back-end is a so called allocating
+ back-end that creates user and group ids and new mappings as needed.
+
+ Whether a back-end honors the read only setting is left to the
+ implementation of the back-end.
