ACL Rules

Rules are an ordered list of CONDITION-RESULT-DESCRIPTION triplets:

• CONDITION is a sift query on an object encoding the request context
  • method: One of the methods of anno-store
  • anno: The existing annotation
    • See data-model.yml in anno-schema
  • newAnno: The new annotation (in case of create, revise)
  • user: The user calling the method, see ACL Users
  • collection: ID of the collection in question. Defaults to default
• RESULT is true to allow or false to deny the request
• DESCRIPTION is an optional description of the rule
