| 32 | + * This is the interface used for representing one entry in an Access | |
| 33 | + * Control List (ACL).<p> | |
| 34 | + * | |
| 35 | + * An ACL can be thought of as a data structure with multiple ACL entry | |
| 36 | + * objects. Each ACL entry object contains a set of permissions associated | |
| 37 | + * with a particular principal. (A principal represents an entity such as | |
| 38 | + * an individual user or a group). Additionally, each ACL entry is specified | |
| 39 | + * as being either positive or negative. If positive, the permissions are | |
| 40 | + * to be granted to the associated principal. If negative, the permissions | |
| 41 | + * are to be denied. Each principal can have at most one positive ACL entry | |
| 42 | + * and one negative entry; that is, multiple positive or negative ACL | |
| 43 | + * entries are not allowed for any principal. | |
| 44 | + * | |
| 45 | + * Note: ACL entries are by default positive. An entry becomes a | |
| 46 | + * negative entry only if the | |
| 47 | + * {@link #setNegativePermissions() setNegativePermissions} | |
| 48 | + * method is called on it. | |
