Deadbolt [deadbolt] module

This module is for the Play 1.x series only.

Deadbolt is an authorisation mechanism for defining access rights to certain controller methods or parts of a view. It has a powerful but simple syntax that allows AND/OR/NOT relations. Both controller and view restrictions can be nested to allow for an elegant DRY approach to securing your application.

It’s also possible to specify pre-defined restriction trees for your controllers and thus be able to change security allowances without changing your code.

Finally, you can name controller classes, controller methods and views as resources and determine arbitrarily if access is allowed. This feature also integrates with the features above to provide specific/generic authorisation scenarios.
