One might ask: How many ways can a voter arrive at a decision? Assume that user sally has the following granted authorities: ROLE_DEV and ROLE_MGR. Also assume that the ACL for a particular object contains the following entries: (sally, read), (ROLE_DEV, readwrite). Both ACL entries are applicable to sally since the first specifies sally (and she is sally) and the second specifies ROLE_DEV (and she has been granted the ROLE_DEV authority). Should the voter grant or deny a request to write to the object associated with this ACL? This is where extensibility of the voting system comes in. The Pentaho BI Platform provides multiple implementations of IAclVoter that each make different decisions in this situation! As the user of the platform, you decide how access decisions are made through your choice of IAclVoter. For more information about IAclVoter implementations, see 12. IAclVoter Node.
