[SOLVED] Invoking tag in grails gsp does not work

Invoking tag in grails gsp does not work

I am using the spring core security plugin and try to invoke the <sec:ifAnyGranted /> tag directly from EL like so:

sec.ifAnyGranted(roles: 'ROLE1, ROLE2, ...')

This however does not work as nothing is returned from the method. However if i try to use the tag in the following way it does work:

<sec:ifAnyGranted roles="ROLE1, ROLE2, ...">

The reason i can't use the second is because i need to combine two criteria in order to restrict access to a particular element in a page, one of which being the user's participation in a particular list of roles. In order to achieve this i am using the <sec:access /> tag in the following way:

<sec:access expression="${sec.ifAnyGranted(roles:'ROLE1,ROLE2,...') || (expression 2)">
   ...
</sec:access>

Sadly, this does not work for me. Could anyone help out?

Solution

you may use SpringSecurityUtils.ifAnyGranted(roles) directly from your view.

Alternatively, you may pass body to sec.ifAnyGranted(roles:'comma separated string','string for body')

EXAMPLE

<g:if test="${sec.ifAnyGranted(roles: 'ROLE_USER_BUSINESS', 'null')}">
    BUSINESS
</g:if>
<g:else>
    SOMETHING TLESE
</g:else>
