<para>
Each line in an ACL file grants or denies specific rights to a user. If the last line in an ACL file is <literal>acl deny all all</literal>, the ACL uses <firstterm>deny mode</firstterm>, and only those rights that are explicitly allowed are granted:
</para>
<programlisting>
-acl allow rajith@QPID all all
-acl deny all all
+ acl allow rajith@QPID all all
+ acl deny all all
</programlisting>
<para>
On this server, <literal>rajith@QPID</literal> can perform any action, but nobody else can. Deny mode is the default, so the previous example is equivalent to the following ACL file:
</para>
<programlisting>
-acl allow rajith@QPID all all
+ acl allow rajith@QPID all all
+</programlisting>
+ <para>
+ Alternatively the ACL file may use <firstterm>allow mode</firstterm> by placing:
+ </para>
+<programlisting>
+ acl allow all all
</programlisting>
<para>
+ as the final line in the ACL file. In <emphasis>allow mode</emphasis> all actions by all users are allowed unless otherwise denied by specific ACL rules.
+ The ACL rule which selects <emphasis>deny mode</emphasis> or <emphasis>allow mode</emphasis> must be the last line in the ACL rule file.
+ </para>
+ <para>
ACL syntax allows fine-grained access rights for specific actions:
</para>
<programlisting>
-acl allow carlt@QPID create exchange name=carl.*
-acl allow fred@QPID create all
-acl allow all consume queue
-acl allow all bind exchange
-acl deny all all
+ acl allow carlt@QPID create exchange name=carl.*
+ acl allow fred@QPID create all
+ acl allow all consume queue
+ acl allow all bind exchange
+ acl deny all all
</programlisting>
<para>
An ACL file can define user groups, and assign permissions to them:
</para>
<programlisting>
-group admin ted@QPID martin@QPID
-acl allow admin create all
-acl deny all all
+ group admin ted@QPID martin@QPID
+ acl allow admin create all
+ acl deny all all
</programlisting>
+
+ <para>
+ Performance Note: Most ACL queries are performed infrequently. The overhead associated with
+ ACL passing an allow or deny decision on the creation of a queue is negligible
+ compared to actually creating and using the queue. One notable exception is the <command>publish exchange</command>
+ query. ACL files with no <emphasis>publish exchange</emphasis> rules are noted and the broker short circuits the logic
+ associated with the per-messsage <emphasis>publish exchange</emphasis> ACL query.
+ However, if an ACL file has any <emphasis>publish exchange</emphasis> rules
+ then the broker is required to perform a <emphasis>publish exchange</emphasis> query for each message published.
+ Users with performance critical applications are encouraged to structure exchanges, queues, and bindings so that
+ the <emphasis>publish exchange</emphasis> ACL rules are unnecessary.

This is the default, but it is useful to include it explicitly on the last line for the sake of clarity.
