Description

Manuel EVENO (Migrated from SEC-2525) said:

In the current implementation, the requiredPermission is given through the expression used in annotation. It would be great if the required permission could be resolved dynamically (which would allow external configuration of the permissions).

Research direction

Start by reading AclPermissionEvaluator and the annotation expression described in the issue. Trace how requiredPermission is currently obtained, then determine how external configuration should supply it and what compatibility constraints apply. Done means permissions can be resolved dynamically without requiring the permission value to be fixed in the annotation.
