 ====== Permission Configuration ======
-VuFind 2.4 introduced a configurable permission system, allowing access to certain features of the system to be restricted based on a variety of options such as username, login status, IP address, etc. All of the available rules and permissions are documented in [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/master/config/vufind/permissions.ini|permissions.ini]].

-VuFind 4.1 added another layer of configuration to the system: the ability to configure exactly what VuFind will do when a particular permission is denied. Permissions may be checked in either controllers or templates, and different options are available for denied permissions in each of these places. A controller may throw an exception or display a custom "access denied" message; a template may suppress portions of its output, or display alternate content in the form of a text message or custom sub-template. These newer features are controlled by, and documented within, [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/master/config/vufind/permissionBehavior.ini|permissionBehavior.ini]].

+VuFind 6.1 adds a significant new option to permissionBehavior.ini: the controllerAccess setting, which allows you to control access permissions at the controller level (or even globally, if you wish) without changing any code.
