angela commented on JCR-3320:
-----------------------------

well... there seems to be a little bit of confusion in this issue:

- the administrator group doesn't exist in jackrabbit by default
- the administrator group we are having in CRX is just a regular group... no special treatment whatsoever
- access control as defined by jsr 283 is granted (or denied) for principals and not for users.
  the shortcut in the current ac-eval implementation is not based on User#isAdmin but on a specific principal.
- the fact that in the default setup principals are associated with users present in the system is just one possibility.

> When trying to validate administrative privileges of a JCR Session for a user belonging to an "administartors" group I realized the check is done only for the user name/id.
> I think it'd be good to :
> a) ok solution : check for membership to "administrators" group
> b) better solution : use some smarter (rule based?) control
