Description

Apparently spring security supports two concepts when working with hierarchical roles:

  1. Resolving the effective roles at authentication time through a RoleHierarchyAuthoritiesMapper
  2. Resolving the roles at every request trough a RoleHierachyVoter

The current reference documentation only mentions the latter option.
