roleExists

boolean roleExists(String resourceId,
                   String roleName)

Indicates whether a role exists.

Parameters:

resourceId - - The resource that scopes the role. Each role has a scoping resource. A null indicates a global role.

                         String roleName)
                  throws NotFoundException

Returns the expression that defines the role granting policy.

Parameters:

roleName - - The role for which this method returns the role granding expression. A null value will trigger NullPointerException.

Throws:

NotFoundException

listRolesForResource

Parameters:
