 /**

  * Requires the current Subject to be an application <em>user</em> for the annotated class/instance/method to be

  * accessed or invoked.  This is <em>less</em> restrictive than the {@link RequiresAuthentication RequiresAuthentication}

  * annotation.

  * <p/>

  * Shiro defines a "user" as a Subject that is either

  * &quot;remembered&quot; <b><em>or</em></b> authenticated:

  * <ul>

  * <li>An <b>authenticated</b> user is a Subject that has successfully logged in (proven their identity)

  * <em>during their current session</em>.</li>

  * <li>A <b>remembered</b> user is any Subject that has proven their identity at least once, although not necessarily

  * during their current session, and asked the system to remember them.</li>

  * </ul>

  * <p/>

  * See the {@link org.apache.shiro.authc.RememberMeAuthenticationToken RememberMeAuthenticationToken} JavaDoc for an

  * explaination of why these two states are considered different.
