From the docs:

  How do I manage the access rights of authenticated users?

  The current JackrabbitSimpleAccessManager class only supports
  three access levels: anonymous, normal, and system. Anonymous
  users have read access while normal and system users have full
  read-write access. You need to implement a custom AccessManager
  class to get more fine-grained access control.
