Access control lists

Normally, all pages are completely open to access by any WebWeb user; these pages may be edited, renamed, deleted - anything, by any user. You can use access control lists to change this, limiting who can do what to any given page. There are three access control lists: read, edit and modify. The read list gives users permission to read the contents of the page. The edit list gives users permission to edit the contents of the page but nothing else. The modify lists gives users permission to modify the page's properties, and to copy, rename or delete the page.

The access lists are hierarchical, so a user with edit access also has read access, and a user with modify access also has read and edit access.
