For Reference documentation: How works @PreAuthorize in class and method level

Hello

I did a research in the Spring Security Reference documentation. And about @PreAuthorize it only appears in method declaration. Ok, but if we check either the source code or javadoc, we can see it can be applied or declared to type (class/interface) declaration

Thus, in the reference documentation should indicate how @PreAuthorize works when is declared in class and method level, the latter complements the former? or the latter overrides by complete the former.

Check this post from SO, the answer and the comment from that answer.

Is it possible to add @Secured or @PreAuthorized annotations on an entire class

Thank you.

Start with the Spring Security Reference documentation sections covering @PreAuthorize, then compare them with the annotation's source code or Javadoc. Use the linked Stack Overflow discussion as supporting context and document how class-level and method-level declarations interact, including whether the method-level rule complements or overrides the class-level rule.
