15.6.4. Securing pages

To use page security, you will need a pages.xml file. Page security is easy to configure: simply include a <restrict/> element in the page elements that you want to secure. If no explicit restriction is specified in the restrict element, access via a non-Faces (GET) request requires an implied /viewId.xhtml:render permission, and /viewId.xhtml:restore permission is required when any JSF postback (form submission) originates from the page. Otherwise, the specified restriction will be evaluated as a standard security expression. Some examples are:

<page view-id="/settings.xhtml"> 
  <restrict/> 
</page>

This page requires an implied permission of /settings.xhtml:render for non-Faces requests, and an implied permission of /settings.xhtml:restore for Faces requests.

<page view-id="/reports.xhtml"> 
  <restrict>#{s:hasRole('admin')}</restrict> 
</page>

Both Faces and non-Faces requests to this page require that the user is a member of the admin role.
