Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Authorization()

xentara::security::Authorization::Authorization ( )

default

Default constructor.

This constructor creates an authorization that has no entitlements whatsoever, not even the entitlements granted to the role “Everyone”.

To get an authorization that represents a real user, use security::Context::authenticate().

Member Function Documentation

operator bool()

xentara::security::Authorization::operator bool ( ) const

explicitnoexcept

Determines if the authorization contains any entitlements at all.

Returns

Returns true if the object contains an authorization for a known entity, and thus has access to at least the entitlements for the role “Everyone”. Returns false if the object has no entitlements whatsoever, not even the entitlements granted to the role “Everyone”. This is the case for a default constructed object, for example.
