     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1866?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brian Stansberry resolved WFLY-1866.
------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 8.0.0.CR1)
       Resolution: Won't Fix


We won't do this for WF 8 and perhaps never. Including details in failure messages risks leaking security sensitive information.

Thanks to John Doyle for pointing that out.

WFLY-2050 is the replacement for this. Users can use TRACE logging on the server side to analyze the cause of unexpected authorization issues.

> The current RBAC implementation does not provide any information about the reason for an unauthorized decision, simply a "Permission denied" message.
> This should be reworked such that constraints can provide more information thus helping the user to understand the reason an action is not authorized.
