 Check the FAQ on access controls.

 These directives are only relevant when SQUID is configured
to use cache_peers (parents).
They control in which cases for instances parents should be bypassed
and connections to remote webservers should be made directly , or not.

These directives do not control, however, clients usage of a particular
SQUID 'instance'. (Often users are confused here).
I personnally would have given these directives another name
for instance, such as :
  
  parents_allowed yes|no
  no_parents_allowed yes|no
