18"""Security policy components for students.
19
20Students need special security policy treatment, as officers with
21local roles for departments and faculties might have additional
22permissions (local roles on depts/faculties) here.

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