ch.entwine.weblounge.common.security.Authority

This interface is used by objects that are used to access that implement the {@link Securable} interface.

In order to be able to restrict access to an object to either roles, a group of users or even a single user, all of these objects implement this interface, thereby allowing for one signature on the secured objects.

The implementations then need to make sure they can recognize the authority and resolve the permissions that were applied. For example, if a secured object o is told to only allow access to {@link Role}r, and then o is being accessed by {@link ch.entwine.weblounge.common.security.User} u who happens to haverole r assigned, access should be granted.

Known authorities are:

ch.entwine.weblounge.common.security.Role
ch.entwine.weblounge.common.security.Group
ch.entwine.weblounge.common.user.User


      // Check for multiple authorities
      StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(require, " ,;");
      while (tok.hasMoreTokens()) {
        String authorityId = tok.nextToken();
        Authority authority = new AuthorityImpl(resolveAuthorityTypeShortcut(type), authorityId);
        allow(permission, authority);
      }


    }
  }
