Exist a method in the PermissionStore API(or in another place) that return all the permissions for a specified user?

Hi everyone

I saw the PermissionStore API and it seems that doesn't exist a method with the following signature:

List<Permission> listPermissions(Principal recipient) {...}  or 
List<Permission> listPermissions(String user) {...}

Because i'm trying to get all the permissions for a specified user, i don't know if i have to use the EntityManager.

Best regards, thanks in advance!!!

This is intentional - such a coarse grained call could potentially return thousands of results. You could achieve this if you really want by querying the table that holds the permissions directly.

I had the same problem on one of my projects. I extended the JpaPermissionStore and have briefly documented my solution here You will note that I had to duplicate some of the code from the superclass as it was private and I couldn't access it.
