Hi,
Access Control List (ACL)
The security concept implemented in EP 6.0 allows an administrator (object creator) to create a new ACL object and assign it to the owner.
The ACL feature provides an interface for following functions:
Create, modify or delete supported permissions for the ACL.
Create, modify or delete an ACL object for a portal object.
Add or remove ACL owners.
Create, modify or delete the permissions for a principal (ACE).
Check if a user has permission to execute an action.
Application Specific ACL Manager
With the default ACL manager all applications that use ACL have the same namespace. To avoid conflicts with object ID and permission names among applications, the user management factory provides the method getAclManager(String applicationID) that returns an application specific ACL manager
