>
> The authentication within the webconsole is done by the security provider (a plugin). With this an object is set as a request attribute about the returned user info (any object).
> However, plugins might want to do a authorization check through the web console security provider. Doing so, plugins need to extract the user from the request, get the same security provider service and then invoke the service.
> It would be easier to add a new User interface to the API and allow such checks through this interface and attach an object of this type to the request.
