The framework for security is very flexible but it seems that administrators
can administer themselves into
positions where the server will slow down to a crawl due to the security
settings.

Are there standard scalable implementations to the ACL based security
framework being used? I have been trying to find one and having difficulty.

Consider the following situation:

Our slide server has a large number of users and documents in multiple
levels of the hierarchy.

A user on our slide server tries to access a list of documents ( e.g. using
search ). Before showing the user the list, the server
needs to verify accessibility for every document on that list for that user.
This is not feasible if the list is large.

In general, the approach of checking accessibility per document is not
scalable if the user is interested in a collection of documents.

Is there a known solution to this problem? I am currently trying to work
this problem. I have the freedom to modify the data structures used by the
data store if need be.

Any thoughts on this subject are welcome.
Thanks
Akil
