+Using Voters to check user permissions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+See the `Security component documentation on voters <http://symfony.com/doc/current/security/voters.html>`_.
+
+By default Silex includes the role hierarchy and authenticated voters.
+If you want to add a custom voter, you need to register it as a service and extend ``security.voter_services``.
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    $app['custom_voter'] = function () {
+        return MyCustomVoter();
+    };
+
+    $app->extend('security.voter_services', function (array $voters) {
+        $voters[] = 'custom_voter';
+
+        return $voters;
+    });
+
+.. note::
+    Using the above approach with the service names circular references are avoided
+    and you can use the ``AccessDecisionManager`` in your custom voter
+    to `check for roles inside a voter
+    <http://symfony.com/doc/current/security/voters.html#checking-for-roles-inside-a-voter>`_.
