 If you are on an arch based distro, crab is avaliable on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/crab) as `crab`.
 
 # Configuration
-Crab supports multiple users with persistence. Each line of the config is the username, then `true` of `false` if the crab authentication persists.
+Each line in the configuration specifies a different rule. Each rule is applied from top to bottom, 
+so the first onethat matches a user is what is used. The first word is either `permit` or `deny` to 
+allow or deny a certain group. Then the tags `persist` and `nopass` can be added to allow authoriziation
+persistance or skipping respectively. Then a user can be specified by putting their name, or a group by a
+colon then the groups name. Finally, if you dont want to run that user as root, you can add `as` and then 
+a user name to run the process as. All lines starting in a # will be ignored.
 
 For Example
 ```
-root true
+deny :docker
-tylerm false
+permit nopass persist linus as root
+permit :wheel persist
+#deny stallman
+permit nvidia as fu 
 ```
 The default configuration file is stored in `/usr/share/crab/crab.conf` and must be coppied to `/etc/crab.conf`.
