@Security & @IsGranted

Usage

The @Security and @IsGranted annotations restrict access on controllers:

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Security;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\IsGranted;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @IsGranted("ROLE_ADMIN")
     *
     * or use @Security for more flexibility:
     *
     * @Security("is_granted('ROLE_ADMIN') and is_granted('ROLE_FRIENDLY_USER')")
     */
    public function index()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

@IsGranted

The @IsGranted() annotation is the simplest way to restrict access. Use it to restrict by roles, or use custom voters to restrict access based on variables passed to the controller:

/**
 * @Route("/posts/{id}")
 *
 * @IsGranted("ROLE_ADMIN")
 * @IsGranted("POST_SHOW", subject="post")
 */
public function show(Post $post)
{
}

Each IsGranted() must grant access for the user to have access to the controller.

Tip

The @IsGranted("POST_SHOW", subject="post") is an example of using a custom security voter. For more details, see the Security Voters page.

You can also control the message and status code:

/**
 * Will throw a normal AccessDeniedException:
 *
 * @IsGranted("ROLE_ADMIN", message="No access! Get out!")
 *
 * Will throw an HttpException with a 404 status code:
 *
 * @IsGranted("ROLE_ADMIN", statusCode=404, message="Post not found")
 */
public function show(Post $post)
{
}

@Security

The @Security annotation is more flexible than @IsGranted: it allows you to pass an expression that can contains custom logic:

/**
 * @Security("is_granted('ROLE_ADMIN') and is_granted('POST_SHOW', post)")
 */
public function show(Post $post)
{
    // ...
}

The expression can use all functions that you can use in the access_control section of the security bundle configuration, with the addition of the is_granted() function.

The expression has access to the following variables:

• token: The current security token;
• user: The current user object;
• request: The request instance;
• roles: The user roles;
• and all request attributes.

You can throw an Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException exception instead of Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException using the statusCode option:

/**
 * @Security("is_granted('POST_SHOW', post)", statusCode=404)
 */
public function show(Post $post)
{
}

The message option allows you to customize the exception message:

/**
 * @Security("is_granted('POST_SHOW', post)", statusCode=404, message="Resource not found.")
 */
public function show(Post $post)
{
}

Tip

You can also add @IsGranted or @Security annotations on a controller class to prevent access to all actions in the class.
