Description

since AbstractAccessControlManager does not have access to the RefreshStrategy present in oak-jcr, it currently eagerly refresh the PermissionProvider used internally. asanso reported that this may lead to performance issues, when item read operations are combined with frequent calls to AccessControlManager.hasPrivileges or AccessControlManager.getPrivileges.
