public interface Sid extends Serializable
This interface provides indirection between actual security objects (eg
principals, roles, groups etc) and what is stored inside an
Acl
. This is because an Acl
will not store an
entire security object, but only an abstraction of it. This interface
therefore provides a simple way to compare these abstracted security
identities with other security identities and actual security objects.
