Spring Security - Check controller access for current user

[mos-7]

Hello (especially Burt),

just looking for an elegant way of checking controller access using the Spring Security Core Plugin.

The use case:  Show a list of controllers that the current user has access to.

Something like:  

    grailsApplication.controllerClasses.findAll { controller -> /*  controller is available to users authority   */}

Thanks

Cheers,
Mos

You can use the sec:access tag for that:

<ul>
   <g:each var="c" in="${grailsApplication.controllerClasses.sort { it.fullName } }">
      <sec:access url='${createLink(controller: c.logicalPropertyName, base: "/")}'>
      <li class="controller"><g:link controller="${c.logicalPropertyName}">${c.fullName}</g:link></li>
      </sec:access>
   </g:each>
</ul>
