+
+How to Create a Custom Access Denied Handler
+============================================
+
+When your application throws an ``AccessDeniedException``, you can handle this exception
+with a service to return a custom response.
+
+Each firewall context can define its own custom access denied handler:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+    .. code-block:: yaml
+
+        # app/config/security.yml
+        firewalls:
+            foo:
+                # ...
+                access_denied_handler: app.security.access_denied_handler
+
+    .. code-block:: xml
+
+        <config>
+          <firewall name="foo">
+            <access_denied_handler>app.security.access_denied_handler</access_denied_handler>
+          </firewall>
+        </config>
+
+    .. code-block:: php
+
+        // app/config/security.php
+        $container->loadFromExtension('security', array(
+            'firewalls' => array(
+                'foo' => array(
+                    // ...
+                    'access_denied_handler' => 'app.security.access_denied_handler',
+                ),
+            ),
+        ));
+
+
+Your handler must implement the 
+:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Http\\Authorization\\AccessDeniedHandlerInterface`.
+This interface defines one method called ``handle()`` that implements the logic to
+execute when access is denied to the current user (send a mail, log a message, or
+generally return a custom response).
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    namespace AppBundle\Security;
+
+    use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
+    use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
+    use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException;
+    use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authorization\AccessDeniedHandlerInterface;
+
+    class AccessDeniedHandler implements AccessDeniedHandlerInterface
+    {
+        public function handle(Request $request, AccessDeniedException $accessDeniedException)
+        {
+            // ...
+
+            return new Response($content, 403);
+        }
+    }
+
+Then, register the service for the access denied handler:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    # app/config/services.yml
+    services:
+        app.security.access_denied_handler:
+            class: AppBundle\Security\AccessDeniedHandler
+
+That's it! Any ``AccessDeniedException`` thrown by the ``foo`` firewall will now be handled by your service.
