Parameters

caller
IPrincipal

the principal invoking this method. It must be an owner of this ACL.

IAclEntry

true on success, false if an entry of the same type (positive or negative) for the same principal is already present in this ACL.

Exceptions

if the invoking Principal is not an owner of this ACL.

Remarks

Adds an ACL entry to this ACL. An entry associates a principal (e.g., an individual or a group) with a set of permissions. Each principal can have at most one positive ACL entry (specifying permissions to be granted to the principal) and one negative ACL entry (specifying permissions to be denied). If there is already an ACL entry of the same type (negative or positive) already in the ACL, false is returned.
