Chris Pike commented on FC-120:
-------------------------------

Not sure I am following... if the caller doesn't set the admin session and the 
adminmgr method can't perform the ARBAC check, shouldn't that result in a 
security exception instead of letting the assignment happen?

The AdminUtil.canAssign method returns true (doesn't throw exception) if the 
passed in admin session is null...

> Fortress API allows any user role assignment if admin session is null

> This may be a misunderstanding on my part, but in line 65 of AdminUtil, if a 
> null session is passed in it doesn't perform a canAssign check. It looks like 
> the setEntitySession method on line 568 of admin manager impl also does some 
> sort of check, but I can get around this by setting admin session to null in 
> admin manager. 
> //user the admin manager is acting on behalf of, that has no ARBAC permissions
> User user = new User("testuser1");    
> Session session = new Session(user);          
> adminManager = AdminMgrFactory.createInstance(session);
> adminManager.setAdmin(null);
> UserRole userRole = new UserRole("fortress-web-super-user");
> userRole.setUserId("testuser1");
> adminManager.assignUser(userRole);
