+File-based rights.
+
+The owner is implied to have all rights on their collections.
+
+Rights are read from a file whose name is specified in the config 
+(section "right", key "file").
+
+The file's format is per line:
+
+collectionpath ":" principal " " rights {", " principal " " rights}*
+
+collectionpath is the path part of the collection's url
+
+principal is a user name (no whitespace allowed)
+rights is a string w/o whitespace that contains "r" for reading rights, 
+"w" for writing rights and a combination of these for all rights.
+
+Empty lines are ignored. Lines starting with "#" (hash sign) are comments.
+
+Example:
+
+# This means user1 may read, user2 may write, user3 has full access
+/user0/calendar : user1 r, user2 w, user3 rw
+# user0 can read /user1/cal
+/user1/cal : user0 r 
+
+If a collection /a/b is shared and other users than the owner are 
+supposed to find the collection in a propfind request, an additional
+line for /a has to be in the defintions. E.g.:
+
+/user0/cal: user
