I have added a link about Authz.

I think the current page Faq_ref would be a good starting point for the 
FAQ page (currently empty), although it shows a mix of questions that 
are current with recent Cat versions and question that are no longer 
relevant, either because some issues have been fixed or because things 
are done differently now (e.g. authz plugins).

Just my 2 eurocents :-)
