Class InternalUser

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    PluginUser

    public class InternalUser
    extends CurrentUser
    User identity for plugin code that needs an identity.

    An InternalUser has no real identity, it acts as the server and can access anything it wants, anytime it wants, given the JVM's own direct access to data. Plugins may use this when they need to have a CurrentUser with read permission on anything.

      • getEffectiveGroups

        public GroupMembership getEffectiveGroups()
        Description copied from class: CurrentUser
        Get the set of groups the user is currently a member of.

        The returned set may be a subset of the user's actual groups; if the user's account is currently deemed to be untrusted then the effective group set is only the anonymous and registered user groups. To enable additional groups (and gain their granted permissions) the user must update their account to use only trusted authentication providers.

        Specified by:
        getEffectiveGroups in class CurrentUser
        Returns:
        active groups for this user.
