success 4998 JA-SIG Groups and Permissions 2007-04-26T21:44:15Z 2009-05-25T23:39:22Z Groups and Permissions ("GAP") is the name given to 2 related frameworks that grew out of the effort to write an authorization service for uPortal. The groups framework presents an API for querying and maintaining a system of grouped entities. It is a "lower level" API that can be used to support a variety of activities including authorization and managing arbitrary collections of things, like buddy groups or address lists. By contrast, the permissions framework presents a simple API to do one thing: authorization. Its reference implementation makes use of the groups API. http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/GAP/Home 5 5.0 1 573874 573874 4998 2009-11-11T19:01:57Z 2009-11-11T19:01:47Z 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z 2008-12-01T00:00:00Z 1 23351 5 Java JA-SIG License JA-SIG License
