      org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.user.UserAccessControlProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

AccessControlProvider, AccessControlUtils

public class UserAccessControlProvider
extends AbstractAccessControlProvider

Implementation of the AccessControlProvider interface that is used to protected the 'security workspace' containing the user and group data. It applies special care to make sure that modifying user data (e.g. password), group membership and impersonation is properly controlled.

This provider creates upon initialization the following 2 groups:

• User administrator
• Group administrator

The default access control policy defined by this provider has the following characteristics:

• everybody has READ permission to all items,
• every known user is allowed to modify it's own properties except for her/his group membership,
• members of the 'User administrator' group are allowed to create, modify and remove those users whose node representation is within the subtree defined by the node representation of the editing user,
• members of the 'Group administrator' group are allowed to create, modify and remove groups,
• group membership can only be edited by members of the 'Group administrator' and the 'User administrator' group. The range of users that can be added as member to any Group is limited to those that are editable according to the restrictions described above for the 'User administrator'.

Method Summary

boolean	canAccessRoot(Set principals) Returns true if the given set of principals can access the root node of the workspace this provider has been built for; false otherwise.

Method Detail

isAcItem

public boolean isAcItem(Path absPath)
                 throws RepositoryException

Always returns false, since this ac provider does not use content stored in items to evaluate AC information.

Specified by:

isAcItem in interface AccessControlUtils

Returns:

true if the item at the specified absPath contains access control information.

Throws:

RepositoryException

See Also:

AccessControlUtils.isAcItem(Path)

isAcItem

public boolean isAcItem(ItemImpl item)
                 throws RepositoryException

Always returns false, since this ac provider does not use content stored in items to evaluate AC information.

Specified by:

isAcItem in interface AccessControlUtils

Returns:

true if the item at the specified item defines access control related information is should therefore be considered protected.

Throws:

RepositoryException

See Also:

AccessControlUtils.isAcItem(ItemImpl)

init

public void init(Session systemSession,
                 Map configuration)
          throws RepositoryException

Description copied from class: AbstractAccessControlProvider

Tests if the given systemSession is a SessionImpl and retrieves the observation manager. The it sets the internal 'initialized' field to true.

Specified by:

init in interface AccessControlProvider

Overrides:

init in class AbstractAccessControlProvider

Throws:

RepositoryException - If the specified session is not a SessionImpl or if retrieving the observation manager fails.

See Also:

AccessControlProvider.init(Session, Map)

getEffectivePolicies

public AccessControlPolicy[] getEffectivePolicies(Path absPath)
                                           throws ItemNotFoundException,
