public interface AccessControlled

This interface should be implemented by a class representing items which requires the logged in user to have permission to access them. Since all items in Proteios should use access control, this interface should be implemented by all items.

The BasicItem which is the root superclass of all items provides an implementation that checks the role keys for access permission. Subclasses may override that implementation to also check for other things. For example, the OwnedItem class checks the item's owner against the logged in user.
