Class Permissionable

java.lang.Object
com.caplin.permissioning.Permissionable
Direct Known Subclasses:
Group, User
public abstract class Permissionable extends Object
Classes that extend this class can be assigned permissions. The User and Group classes extend Permissionable.

A permission either allows or denies an action on a product and namespace. Each permission specifies:

  • The set of products that the permission applies to.
  • The namespace of the permission.
  • The action that is being allowed or denied.

Each product in a product set can be represented by a regular expression. For example, the regular expression "/FX/.*" would match all FX products.

The regular expression representing the product can also contain the substitution tokens "%u " and "%U". When the Permissioning Auth Module checks a permission to see if it applies to a requested product, it replaces the "%u" token with the username of the logged in user, and the "%U" token with the session name allocated by Liberator for that user session.

Substitution tokens can be placed in a product permission to prevent one user from accessing another user's data. For example, if the username of the logged in user is "Bob" and the requested product is " /Private/John/FX", the permissioned product "/Private/%u/FX" will not match the requested product "/Private/John/FX", and the permission will not apply to this request.

Product requests are always denied unless a matching permission allows the action, and no other permission denies the action.

    • getName

      public String getName() throws IllegalStateException
      Gets the name of this Permissionable.

      A Permissionable is named when it is created (see the createUser() and createGroup() methods of the PermissioningDataSource).

      Returns:
      the name of this Permissionable.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if this Permissionable was removed from the PermissioningDatasource.

    • applyPermission

      public void applyPermission(Set<String> productSet, String nameSpace, String action, Authorization auth) throws NoTransactionInProgressException, IllegalStateException
      Adds a permission that either allows or denies a single action on a product set and namespace.

      This permission is added to the permissions already assigned to the Permissionable, and replaces any other permission that Permissionable has for this action, product set, and namespace.

      Parameters:
      productSet - the set of products that the permission applies to.
      nameSpace - the namespace of the permission. To add the permission to the default namespace, set the namespace to Constants.DEFAULT_PERMISSION_NAMESPACE.
      action - the action that is being permitted.
      auth - the Authorization that allows or denies the action.
      Throws:
      NoTransactionInProgressException - if this method is called outside the scope of a PermissioningDataSource transaction
      IllegalStateException - if this Permissionable was removed from the PermissioningDatasource.

    • permit

      public void permit(Set<String> productSet, String nameSpace, String... actions) throws NoTransactionInProgressException, IllegalStateException
      Adds a permission that allows one or more actions on a product set and namespace .

      This permission is added to the permissions already assigned to this Permissionable, and replaces any other permission it has for these actions, product set, and namespace.

      Parameters:
      productSet - the set of products this this permissions applies to
      nameSpace - the namespace of the permission. To add the permission to the default namespace, set the namespace to Constants.DEFAULT_PERMISSION_NAMESPACE.
      actions - the actions that are being permitted. Any number of actions can be specified as a comma separated sequence of varargs
      Throws:
      NoTransactionInProgressException - if this method is called outside the scope of a PermissioningDataSource transaction
      IllegalStateException - if this Permissionable was removed from the PermissioningDatasource.

    • deny

      public void deny(Set<String> productSet, String nameSpace, String... actions) throws NoTransactionInProgressException, IllegalStateException
      Adds a permission that denies one or more actions on a product set and namespace .

      This permission is added to the permissions already assigned to this Permissionable, and replaces any other permission it has for these actions, product set, and namespace.

      Parameters:
      productSet - the set of products this this permissions applies to
      nameSpace - the namespace of the permission. To add the permission to the default namespace, set the namespace to Constants.DEFAULT_PERMISSION_NAMESPACE.

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object that)
      Indicates whether or not another object is "equal to" this Permissionable. The equality is based on the type and name of the objects.
