NAME

Object::Permission::Group - Object helper for Object::Permission using unix groups.

SYNOPSIS


    use Object::Permission::Group; # $*AUTH-USER is derived from $*USER

    # Or:

    Use Object::Permission::Group;

    # Set $*AUTH-USER to one for a specified user
    $*AUTH-USER = Object::Permission::Group.new(user => 'wibble');

DESCRIPTION

This provides a simple implementation of Object::Permission::User to be used with Object::Permission which derives the permissions for the $*AUTH-USER from the users unix group membership.

By default $*AUTH-USER is initialised based on the value of $*USER (i.e. the effective user,) but it can be set manually with the permissions of an arbitrary user (as in the second example above.)

The $*AUTH-USER is set in the dynamic scope that the module is used in. However this can be over-ridden with the scoping as described in Dynamic Variables.

METHODS

This doesn't really have any methods, just a constructor and the accessor for permissions defined in Object::Permission::User.

method new

method new(:$!user = $*USER.Str)

The constructor for the class. By default the :$!user argument is set to the login of the effective user, but can be the name of any existing user on the system. If the user doesn't exist no permissions will be set.

The permissions are derived in the constructor from the names of the groups that user is a member of, it is of course possible to append new permissions at run time if that is required.
