Description
Apparently spring security supports two concepts when working with hierarchical roles:
- Resolving the effective roles at authentication time through a
RoleHierarchyAuthoritiesMapper - Resolving the roles at every request trough a
RoleHierachyVoter
The current reference documentation only mentions the latter option.
