18"""Security policy components for applicants.

20Applicants need special security policy treatment, as officers with
21local roles for departments and faculties might have additional
22permissions (local roles on depts/faculties) here.

50        Different to the default implementation, this method also
51        takes into account local roles set on any department connected
52        to the context student.
53
54        If the given principal has at least one of the
55        `external_rolenames` roles granted for the external object, it
56        additionally gets `additional_rolename` role for the context
57        student.
58
59        For the additional roles the `extra_attrib` and all its parent
60        objects are looked up, because 'role inheritance' does not
61        work on that basic level of permission handling.
62
63        Some advantages of this approach:
64
65        - we don't have to store extra local roles for clearance
66          officers in ZODB for each student
67
68        - when local roles on a department change, we don't have to
69          update thousands of students; the local role is assigned
70          dynamically.
71
72        Disadvantage:
73
74        - More expensive role lookups when a clearance officer wants
75          to see an student form.
76
77        This implementation is designed to be usable also for other
78        contexts than students. You can inherit from it and set
79        different role names to lookup/set easily via the static class
80        attributes.
