It looks like, the existing tags, which are part of Spring Security plugin are not sufficient for you, correct? See: http://grails-plugins.github.io/grails-spring-security-core/docs/manual/guide/6%20Helper%20Classes.html#6.1%20SecurityTagLib

My advice is to add a new method to the Person entity, which takes a Post as an argument and returns true/false, if it can be edited (or vise versa add new method to Post entity, which takes Person as an argument, this is up to your decision).

You can then create your own tag, which utilizes this method, makes your GPS nicer, even if it is not a mandatory step.
