Interface Authorizable
-
public interface Authorizable
The Authorizable is the common base interface forUser
andGroup
. It provides access to thePrincipal
s associated with anAuthorizable
(see below) and allow to access and modify additional properties such as e.g. full name, e-mail or address.Please note the difference between
Authorizable
andPrincipal
:
AnAuthorizable
is repository object that is neither associated with nor depending from a particularSession
and thus independent of the login mechanisms creatingSession
s.
On the other hand
Principal
s are representations of user identities. In other words: eachPrincipal
within the set associated with the Session's Subject upon login represents an identity for that user. An the set ofPrincipal
s may differ between different login mechanisms.
Consequently an one-to-many relationship exists between Authorizable and Principal (see also
getPrincipal()
.The interfaces derived from Authorizable are defined as follows:

Method Detail

getID
@NotNull @NotNull java.lang.String getID() throws RepositoryException
Return the implementation specific identifier for thisAuthorizable
. It could e.g. be a UserID or simply the principal name.- Returns:
- Name of this
Authorizable
. - Throws:
RepositoryException
- if an error occurs.
-
isGroup
boolean isGroup()
- Returns:
- if the current Authorizable is a
Group
-
getPrincipal
@NotNull @NotNull java.security.Principal getPrincipal() throws RepositoryException
- Returns:
- a representation as Principal.
- Throws:
RepositoryException
- If an error occurs.
-
declaredMemberOf
@NotNull @NotNull java.util.Iterator<Group> declaredMemberOf() throws RepositoryException
- Returns:
- all
Group
s, this Authorizable is declared member of. - Throws:
RepositoryException
- If an error occurs.
-
memberOf
@NotNull @NotNull java.util.Iterator<Group> memberOf() throws RepositoryException
- Returns:
- all
Group
s, this Authorizable is member of included indirect group membership. - Throws:
RepositoryException
- If an error occurs.
-
remove
void remove() throws RepositoryException
Removes thisAuthorizable
, if the session has sufficient permissions. Note, that removing anAuthorizable
even if it listed as member of a Group or if still has members (this is a Group itself).- Throws:
RepositoryException
- If an error occurred and theAuthorizable
could not be removed.
-
getPropertyNames
@NotNull @NotNull java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String> getPropertyNames() throws RepositoryException
Returns the names of properties present withthis
Authorizable not taking possible relative paths into consideration. Same asgetPropertyNames(String)
where the specified string is ".".- Returns:
- names of properties.
- Throws:
RepositoryException
- If an error occurs.- See Also:
where the specified relative path is simply an name.
