[teiid-dev] Security nomenclature

Hello all, We should ensure that we have similar names for security concepts in Teiid/Designer/Docs. Here's where we are coming from: MetaMatirx pre-5.5 entitlements - general term for applying CRUD permissions to a VDB. entitlement - a named set of permissions and principles data-policy - internal name for the permission collection of an entitlement. Internally these were referenced as policies in a system that resembled JAAS. permission - an action and target principle - a user or group identified by a unique name. MetaMatrix 5.5 data roles - general term for applying CRUD permissions to a VDB, although the term "entitlements" was still in use in many places. data role - a named set of permissions and groups - note that this was a restriction of the possible principles to only groups. permission - same as before Teiid Current same as 5.5. Moving forward I would propose purging the terms entitlement/entitlements. We should also correct the vdb-deployer.xsd so that data-policy becomes data-role. Optionally we could also consider converting the permission element children to attributes to condense the information a little. These would be a breaking changes, but should be done before the Designer feature is in place. Steve
