Use this widget to manage the access rights that groups and users have.
The Publishing Server Access Control widget is a stand-alone widget used in within the Publishing Server Access Control page. In a typical usage scenario you, as administrator, would select a group or user in the Users/Groups view, and configure the necessary permissions for that entity in the Projects view.

When a user selects to expand a node in the Publisher Navigator view, the publishing server checks whether the user or any of the groups to which the user belongs has a deny access right set for any of the children nodes. If the user or any group has a deny access right for a node, the user will not be able to see (or comment if the access right is for commenting) the node even if the user and other groups have access.
When there are no access rights denied, a user can see a node whether the user or a group that the user belongs to is permitted access rights for that node.
When you set access rights for a user or a group, if a node has one or more children that were denied access, the user or group member will see a node called "Additional nodes (access controlled)."
