For example, if Joe is a Manager, and Managers have access to payroll, you can create an ACL which implements these rules, then ask the ACL if Joe has access to payroll. . Another example, you may wish to track which city, state and country people are in, by adding people to cities, cities to states, and states to countries. . This module includes some facilities to integrate its data structures with either files in the local filesystem and with tables in a RDBMS.
