AllowOverride

Hi,
Some users on my apache server need to use RewriteEngine in there directory.
They use .htaccess, but they say that does not work.
I think i must change AllowOverride for their directory (default is
none) , but i could not find the AllowOverride directive for the
RewriteEngine (AuthConfig,FileInfo,Indexes,Limit,Options etc ..)

Thanks

Each directive lists the 'AllowOverride' that pertains to it:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
RewriteRule Directive
Description: Defines rules for the rewriting engine
Syntax: RewriteRule Pattern Substitution [flags]
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override: FileInfo
