access to data and APIs. The ACL system is an
|
|
|
|
|
[Object-Capability system](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-capability_model) that relies
|
|
|
|
|
access to data and APIs. The ACL system is a
|
|
|
|
|
[Capability-based system](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security) that relies
|
|
|
|
|
on tokens which can have fine grained rules applied to them. It is very similar to
|
|
|
|
|
[AWS IAM](http://aws.amazon.com/iam/) in many ways.
