Interface AccessPolicyProvider

All Known Subinterfaces:

ConfigurableAccessPolicyProvider

public interface AccessPolicyProvider

Provides access to AccessPolicies and the configured UserGroupProvider. NOTE: Extensions will be called often and frequently. Because of this, if the underlying implementation needs to make remote calls or expensive calculations those should probably be done asynchronously and/or cache the results. Additionally, extensions need to be thread safe.
