+To use this, set the "user_info_class" parameter to "ENV" and, at a 
+minimum, set the "auth_env_email" parameter to the name of the 
+Environment variable that passes the authenticated user (usually 
+"REMOTE_USER").  If your webserver knows users' real names as well, also
+set the "auth_env_realname" parameter.  If you are using a true 
+single-signon system that assigns an identifier uniquely to an
+individual, even across changes of email address, then set 
+"auth_env_id" to the name of that variable.

+"User Visibility" Controls
+--------------------------
+
+It is now possible to prevent users from encountering all other users when
+using user-matching or drop-down userlists.  To enable this restriction, 
+enable the "usevisibilitygroups" parameter.  Once this is enabled, each 
+group's permissions will include a new column for "visible."  The members 
+of any group for which the group being edited is visible will be
+able to user-match this groups's users or see them in dropdown lists.
+
+This does not control who a user can CC on a bug, only who they can 
+see in the user-matching lists or drop-downs.
