How can we add an authority to GrantedAuthority[] at run time?

[ranjnadalfin]

Hi, I am using ACEGI security framework of Spring. Now I am getting all the roles from the database and setting it into the ACEGI user object when the user logs in.I need to add new roles to GrantedAuthority[] array at run time after the user logs in. Is it possible to add/remove roles from GrantedAuthority[] array at run time? I am getting stackOverflowerror while trying to add a new authority. Please help.

How you try to add GrantedAuthority?
StackOverflowError means that there is recursion in method invocation.

Maybe this can help you:

GrantedAuthorityImpl authority	= new GrantedAuthorityImpl("ROLE_NEWROLE");
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(
	new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(
		SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal(),
		SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getCredentials(),
		new GrantedAuthority[]{authority})
	);

This code change the granted Authority dinamicaly, so you can get all the authorities that the principal has and Create a new GrantedAuthority array an put your new(s) authoritie(s) in this array
