Interface PermissionResolver

public interface PermissionResolver

A PermissionResolver may be used to determine access restrictions for application resources. For every permission check the application performs, the hasPermission() method of each known PermissionResolver is invoked. For the permission check to succeed, at least one PermissionResolver must return a result of PermissionStatus.ALLOW. If any PermissionResolver returns a result of PermissionStatus.DENY, the permission check is unsuccessful and the user is not allowed to carry out the requested operation. If a PermissionResolver does not explicitly allow or deny the permission, it should return a result of PermissionStatus.NOT_APPLICABLE.
