Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	When JBoss EAP 6 was run with the Java Security Manager enabled, the Role-Based Access-Control system was effectively disabled because in this situation all authenticated users were treated as SuperUsers. The only way to use Role-Based Access-Control was without the Java Security Manager enabled. This issue was fixed in this release by making all access to the current `AccessControlContext` happen outside of the privileged action. As a result, Role-Based Access-Control is now still effective when enabling the Java Security Manager.	Story Points:	---

Description David Jorm 2013-12-05 04:10:41 UTC

Description of problem:

Please cover this in the release notes for EAP 6.2.0 GA.

When Red Hat JBoss EAP 6 is run with the Java Security Manager (JSM) enabled, the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system is effectively disabled because in this situation all authenticated users are treated as SuperUsers. The only way to use RBAC currently is without the JSM enabled.
