ACL Security Manager
The ACL security manager is used for checking user permissions for accessing documents and folders.
The ACL security manager uses ACLs (access control lists) for managing resource-related user permissions. The ACL security manager uses an ACL manager configuration that stores and manages the ACLs for this.
The ACL security manager needs to be configured if you have repositories that use this security manager for performing permission checks (see Repositories and Repository Managers ).
Currently, there are two different configurations of the ACL security manager: One for normal ACLs, and one for service ACLs.
The ACL security managers are already configured in the standard configuration.
You can find a list of the ACL manager configurations in the portal at System Administration → System Configuration → Knowledge Management → Content Management → Utilities → ACL Managers.
