I can say with mild confidence that the action mapping is "frozen" once loaded,
and changes to it during runtime cannot be made. Since roles are part of a
mapping, it cannot be done.
But don't let the framework stop you! Just because its automated configuration
features are frozen, doesn't mean you can't get around it. If you are willing
to perform explicit role checking inside the action, then you can achieve what
you're trying to do. Yes, you will be giving up the XML configuration, but,
you're doing something very special; I don't even know if *ANY* framework
allows something like this.
In my opinion, you might search for a better solution. Perhaps dynamic role
changing is a symptom of a bad design. For instance, instead of changing the
role mapping, update the roles the user actually has -- that's usually how
security apps work: change the user, not the app :)

am adding up these comments.
Actually I want the application users to create groups (roles), and then
assign access rights to various actions for this group. Later group
membership/access rights should be editable. This should be something like
how we can do in Operating Systems.
Any help in this regard is highly appriciated.
Also tell if this is not possible
Thanks in advance.
