Detailed Description

Functions that check access of users to restricted functionality of the server.

For the moment this is only a provisional implementation of ACLs for jabberd14 to get the interfaces working. A more dynamic implementation of ACLs should soon follow, that will allow authorized accounts to alter ACLs at runtime of the server using Jabber requests.
