what is the use of jcr:mixinType "rep:AccessControllable"

[Selva123]

 Hi All,

I am seeing some nodes are having  jcr:mixinType as "rep:AccessControllable".

What is the exact use of this property. I read through some of the docs but not able to get the real value of this property.

Could someone provide more inputs on this property. Thanks.

Regards,

Selv

This has to do with access control functionality. See this Javadoc - it explains the purpose of this node:
