> In the ACLInterceptor is special part of code (applyFilter method), which was obousily created to hide items from a user which have no write access and browse in a tool portlet (i.e. CMSAdmin)
> but this aim should not be satisfied on ACL-Level, in my opinion, cause it's a contradiction, that a user have read permission but cannot read the item.
> and to read a folder by a user seems to be a legitimate request, even if he has no write permission, i.e. to build a folder-index and browse a folder.
> possible solution: specify the need of the result in the command (i.e. only read or something else) and don't filter, if the result of the command will be needed for reading only.
> or maybe better: filter on application level, after the result was catched from the command by the excecuter
> at this moment, i just commented out this line in applyFiler
> securityContext.removeAttribute("command");
> to disable this feature at all and to give read-permitted users read access
