J2 Constraints and Permissions

[anyz <an...@gmail.com>]

I am trying to implement role based sucurity in J2 where some
users/groups/roles can have elevated access from what they have by default.
I have some confusion about using J2 constraints vs permissions and
assossiations like isA and isPartOf.

Could you please guide me to proper documentation page to look into?

Thanks for your time.

Anyz:

Any implementation involving roles normally utilizes the constraints and 
profiling rules to obtain what you are probably after. The best resource 
is to poke around at the default demo psml folders and users where there 
were some examples of role specific pages. Here are the relevant docs:

http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/deployguide/guide-security-declarative-psml.html
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/adminguide/roles.html
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/adminguide/constraints.html
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/deployguide/guide-profile.html
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/adminguide/profiler.html

Most installs use constraints in place of permissions. We can give more 
specific help if you get stuck configuring the profiler and/or 
constraints. Also, check out past posts on this list: profiling and 
constraints are a common topic.
