How to use the AccessDecisionManager in Symfony2 for authorization of arbitrary users?

Question

I\'d like to be able to verify whether or not attributes (roles) are granted to any arbitrary object implementing UserInterface in Symfony2. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can use the security.context service with the isGranted method.

You can pass a second argument which is your object (see here).

In a controller:

$this->get('security.context')->isGranted('ROLE_FOOBAR', $myUser)
