This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.

For Drupal 7 watch the progress of the Authorization module.

Overview

For end-users where Drupal must coexist with generic authorizations systems with code-based attributes, this module should be flexible enough to be used and extended to interact with any Drupal component. Generally speaking, this module should serve as a generic authorization framework for dynamically granting users permissions and roles.

The implementors of this framework are divided into providers and consumers. Providers are the authorization method by which entitlements are derived from external systems. Consumers exist within Drupal, mapping the provided entitlements to Drupal-specific objects. The Entitlements API provides the glue connecting these implementors, so that providers and consumers never speak directly.
