As a developer:

	Analyze the authentication and authorization modules
	Study the flexible, extensible framework for the authorization plug-in
	List the steps for building a Query Time Authorization Plug-in
	Determine the class structure before actually implementing the plug-in
	Build the custom Authorization plug-in by designing the necessary Java classes
	Configure QTA to a source by setting Authorization parameter values, thus ensuring secure search
