Add rights

You can add further rights each time you link a UI component to a right via a wizard or centrally in this class by simply appending further rights.

import com.rapidclipse.framework.security.authorization.ResourceEnum;
import com.rapidclipse.framework.server.resources.Caption;

public enum AuthorizationResources implements ResourceEnum<AuthorizationResources>
{
    CUSTOMERSAVE("CustomerSave"),
    CUSTOMERNEW("CustomerNew"),

    PRODUCTSAVE("ProductSave"),
    PRODUCTNEW("ProductNew"),
    PRODUCTUPDATE("ProductUpdate"),
    PRODUCTDELETE("ProductDelete")
    ;

Output of all rights

The AuthorizationResources class contains a Main method that you can start. This will output all permissions to the console by default, so you can process them further, e.g. store them in your database.

Right-click in the code of the AuthorizationResources class.
In the following context menu, select > Run As > Java Application.

Notice:

Generate insert statements - you can also have insert statements generated for your database or any other format at the same time as the output.
