[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-21?page=all ]
Ate Douma resolved JS2-21:
--------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fully implemented!
You can now maintain both users and roles assignments to a group.
When a user is assigned to a group which has roles assigned also,
the user automatically will have each of those roles
(request.isUserInRole(roleName).
This allows for very flexible authorization configurations like temporarily
disabling a certain role based access by removing the role from a group.
> Missing Security Feature: Check roles assigned to any group to user belongs

> Key: JS2-21
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-21
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Type: New Feature
> Components: Security
> Versions: 2.0-FINAL
> Reporter: David Le Strat
> Assignee: Ate Douma
> Fix For: 2.0-FINAL
>
> Reported by Ate Douma:
> o.a.j.security.impl.RoleManagerImpl.isUserInRole() implementation is
> missing a required feature.
> A User can be part of a Group which can have Roles just like the User itself.
> The isUserInRole() method currently only checks if the specified role is
> assigned to the user, not if it is assigned to one of the groups the user
> belongs to.
> The Role definition in Servlet 2.3 SRV.12.4 (which according to portlet
> PLT.20.2 also applies for portlets) specifies that a user is in a specific
> role either when assigned directly to the user or
> when assigned to a group the user belongs to.
> Thus according to this definition the RoleManagerImpl.isUserInRole()
> should also check the roles assigned to any group to user belongs to.
