Class GroupPrincipal

java.lang.Object
org.apache.wiki.auth.GroupPrincipal
All Implemented Interfaces:
Principal
public final class GroupPrincipal
extends Object
implements Principal
Immutable Principal that represents a Group. GroupPrincipals are injected into a Subject's principal list at the time of authentication (login), and serve as proxies for Group objects for the purposes of making Java 2 security policy decisions. We add GroupPrincipals instead of the actual Groups because calling classes should never be able to obtain a mutable object (Group memberships can be changed by callers). Administrators who wish to grant privileges to specific wiki groups via the security policy file should always specify principals of type GroupPrincipal.
Since:
2.3.79
