> Key: SLING-8120
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8120
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Capabilities
> Affects Versions: org.apache.sling.capabilities 0.1.0,
> org.apache.sling.capabilities.jcr 0.1.0
> Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Priority: Major
>
> The Capabilities module currently implements pattern-based path and namespace
> restrictions ( described at
> [https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-capabilities] ) to make
> sure access control is taken into account when exposing capabilities.
> Thinking about it, the following model would be a simpler way to implement
> this:
> * Pass the current {{ResourceResolver}} to the {{CapabilitiesSource}}
> services so they know the identity of the current user.
> * Document in that service interface that only information that that user
> can find out in other ways can be exposed as Capabilities - in other words,
> trust boundaries must not be crossed by these services.
> * Remove the current path and namespace patterns restrictions, as the above
> rule makes them unnecessary
> This results in a simpler model and delegates the trust boundary aspects to
> the {{CapabilitiesSource}} services, which can each decide what to do based
> on their "local" constraints.
> These changes will result in backwards incompatibilities, but as the only
> release of that module is 0.1.0 and it's labeled as a contrib module I think
> that's reasonable - better change this now than later.
