ACL - Documentation

ACL

Parse. ACL

Creates a new ACL. If no argument is given, the ACL has no permissions for anyone. If the argument is a Parse.User, the ACL will have read and write permission for only that user. If the argument is any other JSON object, that object will be interpretted as a serialized ACL created with toJSON().

An ACL, or Access Control List can be added to any Parse.Object to restrict access to only a subset of users of your application.
