Description
Currently, it seems like the security access checking works inconsistently.
For example, even though 'editor' user doesn't have a read access to /preview/hst:content/, the user can read a child node, /preview/hst:content/news/.
If we think jcr repository node structure has a similar access control mechanism as a file system, this symptom looks very strange.
In file systems, normally, if a parent folder is not allowed to read to a user, it implies any child nodes from the parent node shouldn't be allowed to read by default.
Please review this and decide if this symptom can be a repository implementation feature or if this problem should be fixed later.
