> In the current policy model (in 0.6), adding an user/group to allowExceptions
> does not automatically deny access to the user/group; the user/group should
> explicitly be added to denyPolicyItems. Similarly adding an user/group to
> denyExceptions does not allow access to the user/group; the user/group should
> explicitly be added to allowPolicyItems.
> While this behavior offers flexibility, it does not seem very intuitive for
> many users. Hence this JIRA to ask for change in the policy engine to
> implicitly treat allowExceptions as deny and denyExceptions as allow.
