Hi,

I have actually first tried with an interceptor, there is quite a nice post how to implement one:

However, it seemed somehow that my interceptor didn't intercept all calls to PermissionService. It probably is my bug, but it was quite hard to debug so I have reverted to overriding the permission service.

I guess from the technical point of view it doesn't really matter: both approaches imply changing the Spring configuration, so they could not be done as an AMP module.

Thanks for your reply!
