  • Explicitly calls out that permissions and project access are orthogonal concepts.
  • Provides example pattern that demonstrates how per-project permissions can be emulated.
  • Documents how ACL is inherited, may be bypassed, and behaves WRT project creation.

Pull request overview

Expands the Dependency-Track access control documentation to clarify the relationship between permissions and Portfolio Access Control (PAC), and relocates authentication-flow material into the relevant authentication guides.

Changes:

  • Restructures docs/concepts/access-control.md: clarifies that permissions and ACLs are orthogonal, adds a separating-teams pattern with a Mermaid diagram, and documents ACL inheritance, the PORTFOLIO_ACCESS_CONTROL_BYPASS bypass, and project-creation behavior under PAC.
  • Moves the LDAP and OIDC authentication-flow descriptions out of the access-control concept page and into their respective administration guides.
  • Adds the PAC abbreviation and minor copy edits in the OIDC guide.
