= Authorization Changes

== If Using Access API, Add `spring-security-access`

Spring Security 7 moves `AccessDecisionManager`, `AccessDecisionVoter`, and the related Access API to a legacy module, `spring-security-access`.
The Access API is deprecated in favor of the Authorization API as of Spring Security 5.

You can add the dependency like other Spring Security dependencies like so:
