Provide means to display the effective policies for a given set of principals
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-2649
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2649
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: jackrabbit-api, jackrabbit-core
Affects Versions: 2.1.0, 2.0.0
Reporter: angela
Assignee: angela
Priority: Minor
JSR 283 currently defines AccessControlManager#getEffectivePolicies(String
nodePath) that would allow any Permission related UI to
display what policies contribute to a particular set of privileges. In addition
the API defines AccessControlManager#getPrivileges(String nodePath) which
returns the privileges the editing session has at the specified path.
In order to have additional flexibility we started to add custom extensions (->
JackrabbitAccessControlManager) that allows e.g. to retrieve the privileges any
set
of principals has hat a specified path. I would like to extend this and in
addition provide a method that allows to retrieve the effective policies for a
set of principals.
Currently this can only be achieved by relying on a specific access control
model and making assumptions about it's implementation, which obviously isn't
the desired effect.
