 * This is an example illustrating how to restrict access to nodes based on
 * some criterion associated with the user.
 *
 * This example module will simply set a single flag on a node: 'private'. If
 * the flag is set, only users with the 'view private content' flag can see
 * the node, and all users with 'edit private content' can edit (but not
 * delete) the node.
 *
 * Additionally we will ensure that the node author can always view, edit,
 * and delete the node by providing an additional access realm that grants
 * privileges to the node's author.
