 * To define an access control plugin, extend this base class. Your access
 * plugin should have an annotation that includes the plugin's metadata, for

 * @Plugin(

 *   title = @Translation("No Access"),
 *   help = @Translation("Will not be accessible.")
 * )
 * The definition should include the following keys:
 * - id: The unique identifier of your access plugin.
 * - title: The human-readable name for your access plugin.
 * - help: A short help message for your plugin.
