Customizing roles in ModeShape

jacobilsoe Feb 26, 2015 10:56 AM

Hi.

It does not seem to be possible to customize the three role names: admin, readonly and readwrite. It looks like they are hardcoded in the ModeShapeRoles interface. Is that correct?

Do you plan to allow for customizing these names - e.g. in standalone.xml?

These are internal and not supposed/intended to be customized, so no, we're not planning on changing these.
If you want functional flexibility with roles and nodes - i.e. more fine-grained permissions - you should look at ACLs, which ModeShape supports: http://www.day.com/specs/jcr/2.0/16_Access_Control_Management.html

Yes, I am already using ACLs. But still, the users need have (at least one of ) the three hardcoded roles regardless of what ACLs I assign to nodes, right?

My biggest problem is that the roles have very general names which are likely to conflict with existing roles used for other purposes.
