ACL permissions

WebSphere Event Broker uses Access Control List (ACL) entries to govern which users and groups can manipulate objects in the broker domain. There are four different access levels that can be granted for a user or group: Full, View, Deploy, and Edit. Not all access levels are valid for all object types.
