------------------------

For more simple use cases this seems to be an overhead for many developers.
As a downside there is that in case you change the permissions in any way,
you need to change all the existing granted permissions as well. As well
when you want to change a specific part of the ACL you need to understand
the structure and process of this complex voter. So you should consider if
a classical and simple conditional permission check would fit for you.
Some do it with the existing voter ":doc:`/cookbook/security/voters`"
structure as well, or a custom build solutions.
