Interface PermissionChecker

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultPermissionChecker, NullPermissionChecker, ServerPermissionChecker

public interface PermissionChecker

The PermissionChecker is responsible for granting/denying access of various callers to different contexts.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	canActivate(Permissions has, Permissions need, ContextManager cm) Checks whether the calling party (those permissions are identified by has) can set permissions of some other party to need.
boolean	canSee(Permissions perms, java.lang.String context, ContextManager cm) Returns true if the calling party (those permissions are identified by perms) can see context among children of its parent context because it has non-null permissions for one or more direct/nested children of context.
java.lang.String	getLevel(Permissions permissions, java.lang.String accessedContext, java.lang.Integer accessedEntityType, java.lang.String accessedEntity, java.lang.String accessedEntityGroup, ContextManager cm) Returns the effective permission level of the calling party (those permissions are identified by permissions) for the entity.
java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.String>	getPermissionLevels() Returns a map of all permission levels supported by the checker.
java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>	getRolePermissionLevels(int entityType) Returns a map of all supported permission levels for the specified entity type.
boolean	has(CallerController caller, Permissions requiredPermissions, Context accessedContext, EntityDefinition accessedEntityDefinition) Returns true if caller is allowed to access an entity those permissions are requiredPermissions.
boolean	isValid(java.lang.String permissionLevel) Returns true if permission level permissionLevel is supported by the checker.

Method Detail

getPermissionLevels

java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,java.lang.String> getPermissionLevels()

Returns a map of all permission levels supported by the checker. Each level is defined by a name string and description string.

getRolePermissionLevels

java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getRolePermissionLevels(int entityType)

Returns a map of all supported permission levels for the specified entity type. Each level is defined by a name and a description.

isValid

boolean isValid(java.lang.String permissionLevel)

Returns true if permission level permissionLevel is supported by the checker.

has

boolean has(CallerController caller,
            Permissions requiredPermissions,
            Context accessedContext,
            EntityDefinition accessedEntityDefinition)

Returns true if caller is allowed to access an entity those permissions are requiredPermissions.

getLevel

java.lang.String getLevel(Permissions permissions,
                          java.lang.String accessedContext,
                          java.lang.Integer accessedEntityType,
                          java.lang.String accessedEntity,
                          java.lang.String accessedEntityGroup,
                          ContextManager cm)

Returns the effective permission level of the calling party (those permissions are identified by permissions) for the entity.

canSee

boolean canSee(Permissions perms,
               java.lang.String context,
               ContextManager cm)

Returns true if the calling party (those permissions are identified by perms) can see context among children of its parent context because it has non-null permissions for one or more direct/nested children of context.

canActivate

java.lang.String canActivate(Permissions has,
                             Permissions need,
                             ContextManager cm)

Checks whether the calling party (those permissions are identified by has) can set permissions of some other party to need.
