Adding user groups to the security architecture
-----------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-4554
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4554
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Security
Affects Versions: 2.2.x
Reporter: Christian Mueller
Assignee: Christian Mueller
Adding groups to the current security architecture would simplify user to role
assignments. A the moment, we have a file users.properties containing user
name,password and assigned roles.
Two additional files are needed.
1) groups.properties
containing the group name and a list of users.
2) group2roles.properties
containing the group name and a list of roles.
A user has the roles assigned individually and and all roles of the groups
he belongs to.
Nothing will break.
Additionally, the GUI has to be extended, configuration using REST should also
be possible.
