Interface PermissionService

All Known Implementing Classes:

PermissionServiceImpl

public interface PermissionService

This service provides operations for evaluating permissions and querying for permission data.

A permission is the ability to perform an action. All permissions have a permission template. Both permissions and permission templates are uniquely identified by a namespace code plus a name. The permission template defines the course-grained permission and specifies what additional permission details need to be collected on permissions that use that template. For example, a permission template might have a name of "Initiate Document" which requires a permission detail specifying the document type that can be initiated. A permission created from the "Initiate Document" template would define the name of the specific Document Type that can be initiated as a permission detail.

The isAuthorized and isAuthorizedByTemplateName operations on this service are used to execute authorization checks for a principal against a permission. Permissions are always assigned to roles (never directly to a principal or group). A particular principal will be authorized for a given permission if the permission evaluates to true (according to the permission evaluation logic and based on any supplied permission details) and that principal is assigned to a role which has been granted the permission.

The actual logic for how permission evaluation logic is defined and executed is dependent upon the permission service implementation. However, it will typically be associated with the permission template used on the permission.

                                   RiceIllegalStateException

This will create a Permission exactly like the permission passed in.

Parameters:

permission - the permission to create

Returns:

the id of the newly created object. will never be null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the permission is null

IllegalStateException - if the permission is already existing in the system

RiceIllegalArgumentException

RiceIllegalStateException

updatePermission

@CacheEvict(value={"http://rice.kuali.org/kim/v2_0/PermissionType","http://rice.kuali.org/kim/v2_0/TemplateType{Permission}"},
            allEntries=true)
Permission updatePermission(Permission permission)
                            throws RiceIllegalArgumentException,
                                   RiceIllegalStateException

This will update a Permission.

Parameters:

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the permission is null

IllegalStateException - if the permission does not exist in the system

RiceIllegalArgumentException

RiceIllegalStateException

hasPermission

boolean hasPermission(String principalId,
                      String namespaceCode,
                      String permissionName,
                      Map<String,String> permissionDetails)
                      throws RiceIllegalArgumentException

Checks whether the principal has been granted a permission matching the given details without taking role qualifiers into account. This method should not be used for true authorization checks since a principal may only have this permission within a given context. It could be used to identify that the user would have some permissions within a certain area. Later checks would identify exactly what permissions were granted. It can also be used when the client application KNOWS that this is a role which is never qualified.

Throws:

RiceIllegalArgumentException

isAuthorized

boolean isAuthorized(String principalId,
                     String namespaceCode,
                     String permissionName,
                     Map<String,String> permissionDetails,
                     Map<String,String> qualification)
                     throws RiceIllegalArgumentException

Checks whether the given qualified permission is granted to the principal given the passed roleQualification. If no roleQualification is passed (null or empty) then this method behaves the same as #hasPermission(String, String, String, Map). Each role assigned to the principal is checked for qualifications. If a qualifier exists on the principal's membership in that role, that is checked first through the role's type service. Once it is determined that the principal has the role in the given context (qualification), the permissions are examined. Each permission is checked against the permissionDetails. The PermissionTypeService is called for each permission with the given permissionName to see if the permissionDetails matches its details.

Throws:

RiceIllegalArgumentException

hasPermissionByTemplateName

boolean hasPermissionByTemplateName(String principalId,
                                    String namespaceCode,

                                    Map<String,String> permissionDetails)
                                    throws RiceIllegalArgumentException

This also returns delegates for the given principals/groups who also have this permission given the context in the qualification parameter.

Returns permissions (with their details) that are granted to the principal given the passed qualification. If no qualification is passed (null or empty) then this method does not check any qualifications on the roles. All permissions with the given name are checked against the permissionDetails. The PermissionTypeService is called for each permission to see if the permissionDetails matches its details. An asterisk (*) as a value in any permissionDetails key-value pair will match any value. This forms a way to provide a wildcard to obtain multiple permissions in one call. After the permissions are determined, the roles that hold those permissions are determined. Each role that matches between the principal and the permission objects is checked for qualifications.
