public interface SecurityRole
The SecurityRole
interface represents the abstract notion
of a security role.
Users/groups can have different roles at different times, depending upon
what they are trying to do. For example, a user may have the role "Admin"
while doing administrative tasks, but the same user might not be allowed
to have that role outside normal work hours. Users/groups can have multiple
roles at the same time, depending upon what the security providers grant.
The methods on the SecurityRole
interface allow one to obtain
basic information about the SecurityRole
, or to compare it to another
security role. These methods are designed for the convenience of security providers.
Note: SecurityRole
implementations are returned as a Map
by the getRoles
method.
RoleMapper.getRoles(Subject subject, Resource resource, ContextHandler handler)
