Shiro and unix file system permissions
We are using Shiro but our application has developed the need for unix-style
permissions, where access to a particular object needs to be restricted that
Shiro does not seem to support. Spring Security has ACL that can be used
that way - e.g.

Anyone achieve this sort of functionality with Shiro or given it some
thought?
Mike.

Hi Mike,
This is actually one of Shiro's best strengths, and it has been part
of Shiro for many years (long before Spring Security ACLs I believe).
You'll want to read Shiro's Authorization chapter:
http://shiro.apache.org/authorization.html
and specifically, Permissions: http://shiro.apache.org/permissions.html
In fact, the very first conceptual example on the Permissions page is
'open a file' :).
Ultimately Shiro's Permission construct is extremely powerful and is
most often used to model ACL behavior - you can use Shiro's default
WildcardPermission semantics or define your own entirely for very
custom needs.
HTH!
Cheers,
