Interface IAuthorizationPolicy

@Deprecated(since="11.0", forRemoval=true) public interface IAuthorizationPolicy
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
since 11.0, for removal in a future release.
An access control policy.

Responsible for determining if access to a given action should be allowed or denied. A implementation could be one based on roles, as is done in the Servlet specification. (In other words, if the policy has an association between the given action and a role that has been granted to the user, then the decision will be to allow.)

The IAuthorizationPolicy interface has been deprecated in favor of the new authorization service, IAuthorizationService and will be removed in a future version of the platform.
