security-roles

There are three default security roles in CloudKit: World Authenticated Creator And three permissions: Create Read Write How do these security roles and permissions work? Here are examples of some of the questions I would hope get answered by an explanation of security roles: What do the three roles mean? The first two seem obvious, but the last one seems less so. E.g. does Creator refer to the creator of the table, or the creator of a record? Where would the deletion permission fall under? Write? Can security roles be applied to individual records? (E.g. I want a user to have access to only a

I know Spring Security is good for standard role and permission based authorisation. What I'm not sure is this scenario: There are 10,000 employees managed in the system, employees organised into an org chart (a tree of who reports to who across departments). Some of these employees are users. These users are only permitted to access employees in their line of responsibility (their branch in the tree / a descendant of their employee). So I am wondering how do modern Java EE (or other) systems manage these checks? Can Spring Security (ACL) do this and How can it be modelled? Our old

I have medium sized MySQL database with a primary "persons" table which contains basic contact information about every human being connected to the theatre and theatre school for which I am responsible for maintaining and developing a number of web applications. Some persons are just contacts - that is, their "persons" table record is all the information we need to store about them. Many others though have to be able to assume different roles for a variety of systems. Of these, most start out as students. Some start as employees. People who are students can become interns or performers;

I've been reading about AngularJS and it seems very promising, the only thing I'm trying to figure out, not specific for framework, but it's general for client-side template. Let's say you have a web application with multiple roles, each role may contain addition feature,,, so you cannot have different template for each role, that would be considered bad practice, so my question is what's the best approach to use client-side template in the mean time, not exposing your template to client, so for example, in AngularJS I don't have to use ng-show ? What best tool to generate template at server

A lot of articles online on role based access speak of applying something like this to ensure role based access to a controller or action [Authorize(Roles = "Admin, Manager")] public class SomeController : Controller { } All this is fine, but now if I need to implement my own custom role based access wherein I have roles in a [RoleMaster] table and the roles assigned to a user from a [User] table in another table called [UserRoles]. In my code I will have a user object in session which will now have a Roles list in it public class RegisteredUsers { //... other user properties public List

I have an ASP.Net website with multiple roles, each with access to a separate directory (i.e. admin users can access /admin, shoppers can access /shop etc), using a shared login page. If someone visits the login page with the return URL set to a directory they do not have access to (e.g. a shopper visits /login.aspx?returnurl=/admin/index.aspx), the user can authentice successfully (the login credentials are valid), but they end up back at the login page (they don't have access to the page they've requested). How do I pick this up, so I can display a message do the user? UrlAuthorizationModule
