Policy Based Access Control Handler
A policy based access control handler implements a coarse grained access control model suitable for use in proxies.
Access control rules are defined using individual access control policy entries. A user’s access is defined as the union of all access control rules that apply to that user. In other words, an individual access control rule can only grant additional access and can not remove rights granted by another rule. This approach results in an access control policy which is easier to understand and audit, since all rules can be understood in isolation.
