Many of Grails plugin like searchable \u00a0and console can prove to be really dangerous if access to their URLs is not blocked. After adding searchable plugin to my project, I realized that access to its controllers was not defined and was open for all. Now this was a major security concern. There are many ways of restricting access like doing it manually in filters. But since I am using spring security plugin, there was a better way out. It allows to create mapping (static rules) as configuration for different user roles.<\/p>\n

There are different ways of securing url in spring security plugin. And since I am using annotations, I’ll be defining static rule for annotations only.<\/p>\n

[java]<\/p>\n

grails.plugins.springsecurity.controllerAnnotations.staticRules = [<\/p>\n

‘\/console\/**’: [‘ROLE_ADMIN’],<\/p>\n

‘\/searchable\/**’: [‘ROLE_ADMIN’]<\/p>\n

]<\/p>\n

[\/java]<\/p>\n

By doing this I blocked access for all but ones with the role “ROLE_ADMIN” \u00a0for console and searchable controllers.<\/p>\n
