> As of now it is difficult to maintain gazillion of nodes even in a hierarchy.
> when you have:
> A<-B<-C
> (B is a child of A, C is a child of B)
> and you want to restrict access to that tree, you need to define security rules on the 3 *pages*. (and modify the pages everytime you want to change a restriction)
> As of now we don't have security restrictions on the node itself, we would need to add this feature and make it inherited.
> the Picketlink Authz framework can do this effectively, but we would need an answer to this issue prior to the integration.
> We should be able to tell that A is restricted to admins, and on an access to C check for parent restrictions. It should also be possible to add a restriction on B.
> In some cases, one node may want to break the inheritance to define other rules.
