Indicates to which newsgroups the access privilege applies. The default is all
newsgroups (*). The newsgroup pattern can be one of the following:

misc.*,alt.*,comp.*. Use the asterisk (*) to indicate all newsgroups
within a particular category
• A newsgroup category or subcategory preceded by an exclamation point (!)
indicates that the access privilege is not applied to that newsgroup category
or subcategory. For example, the string misc.*,comp.*,!rec.photo*
applies the access privilege to the misc.* and comp.* categories but does
not apply the privilege to the newsgroup rec.photo and all its subcategories.
