compareUserAuthorities

public static boolean compareUserAuthorities(UserAuthority pAuthority1,
                                             UserAuthority pAuthority2)

Compares user authorities, returning true if they are effectively equivalent. This takes care of shell management.

ensureEquivalentUserAuthorities

public static void ensureEquivalentUserAuthorities(UserAuthority pAuthority,
                                                   Persona pPersona)
                                            throws SecurityException

Throws:

SecurityException

ensureEquivalentUserAuthorities

public static void ensureEquivalentUserAuthorities(UserAuthority pAuthority,
                                                   AccessControlList pAcl)
                                            throws SecurityException
