I don't have any practical experience with filtered replication either, but from reading the docs, it seems like the user decides whether or not they want to filter their replication by passing in the name of the filter-function in the URL. Therefore, you can't use this to restrict access to a document, because otherwise, a user could just modify the URL to remove the filter, and thus gain access to all documents. - Nebu
