A GroupNode represents a group of users and a subject is a single user.
A groupnode can contain group members (or better links to the actual
members)
Like in the default domain.xml:
<objectnode classname="org.apache.slide.structure.GroupNode"
uri="/users/groupA">
<objectnode classname="org.apache.slide.structure.LinkNode"
uri="/users/groupA/john" linkedUri="/users/john" />
<objectnode classname="org.apache.slide.structure.LinkNode"
uri="/users/groupA/root" linkedUri="/users/root" />
</objectnode>
If you have a security rule (acl) starting with a "+", the corresponding
object is fetched and if the object is a GroupNode then it is considered
as a group and the group members are also checked in the security check.
