Thank you for the clarification - I had misunderstood that.

So if you ask for access and return false, with an error due to resolution - you just
re throw the resolution failure. If there was no resolution error, then IllegalAccessError is
returned with no cause.

thank you!
Karen

Resolution errors are simply rethrown (though I do wrap NCDFE in a new NCDFE so that I can tell the user it came from nest-host resolution). Nest membership validation failures result in IllegalAccessErrors (and I add a suitable message explaining why).
