Detailed Description
Represents the authority of a given User.
For anonymous visitors, this will typically allow only basic permissions. For logged in users, permissions are generally based on group membership, but may be adjusted based on things like IP range blocks, OAuth grants, or rate limits.
- Note
- This is intended as an intermediate step towards an implementation of Authority that contains much of the logic currently in PermissionManager, and is based directly on WebRequest and Session, rather than a User object. However, for now, code that needs an Authority that reflects the current user and web request should use a User object directly.
- Stability: unstable
- Since
- 1.36
