Detailed Description
Actors are a few kinds of things; aliases, pseudonyms and group members are alternative identities that a user may switch to.
Aliases are so simple that they are usually coded in-place. It is also incorporated into access_actor(), both for aliases to the current identity and after switching to a pseudonym (but not after switching to a group). A separate access_actor_pseudonym() is available for evaluation of the right of administrative access to the Pseudonym.
Pseudonyms are not really difficult either, and they are only really part of the access_actor() logic and the a2rule(1) program. Their rules_type is defined here.
Groups are rather complicated, also because they allow iteration with filters, and membership tests, so they have a life of their own, but are also integrated into access_actor().
