ACL
• 1.6 introduces greater ACL support:• Type 1 rules: What can you do?
– Controlled by group permissions
• Type 2 rules: What can you do to this item?– Controlled by the item
• Type 3 rules: What can I see? – Controlled by the access level system

ACL Translation
• Type 1 rules are “roles”– Users are assigned to groups– Groups are assigned permissions
• Type 2 rules are “discretionary ACLS”– Users are assigned permissions on individual
items– Similar to how Windows works with files
• Type 3 rules are simple view ACLs– Levels are assigned to groups– Items are assigned levels– Users in groups can see items of that level
