  It will do what the documentation says it does.  Please read the comments in the mods-enable/files configuration, and the "man users" documentation page.

  I have no idea what that means.

  The "users" file is a simple key-value database.  It doesn't know about users.  It knows about keys.  You configure the key as above, and then the key is used for lookups.
