             Summary: Introduce interface to extract tree from users
                 Key: OAK-9868
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9868
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: auth-external, core, security-spi
            Reporter: Angela Schreiber
            Assignee: Angela Schreiber


while working on OAK-9803 it struck me that there are several places in the oak security code base where a tree object needs to be retrieved from a given user/group, which according to the API contract only has a {{getPath()}} method returning a JCR path.

Since the default implementation is backed by a tree object, it would in certain cases (same content session being used to retrieve the {{User}} and the {{Root}}) be possible (and likely better from a performance point of view) if there was an option to access the tree instead of traversing the hierarchy again to build it from the path.
