AllowOverride concerns

[Yves Goergen <nospam.list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've set up my Apache 2.4 web server on Ubuntu for multi-user shared 
hosting with sufficient security isolation between all users. Part of my 
server config is this:

<Directory "/var/www">
    Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit
</Directory>

Now when I want to install Nextcloud on one of the domains, there is an 
error with this part of its .htaccess file:

Options -Indexes

The error message in the log is:

/var/www/xxx/.htaccess: Options not allowed here

I thought I had configured this correctly to allow this directive, but 
that's been a very long time any maybe Apache has changed since then. 
After reading the documentation about AllowOverride, I guess I need 
something more like this:

AllowOverride (...) Options=Indexes

I don't fully understand what the consequences are. Especially since I 
already have "Indexes" in the AllowOverride setting. Can I just append 
the extra parameter as shown and all is good? Will it allow .htaccess 
files like the above and nothing else? I don't want to grant any 
permissions that I'm not aware of.
