Components.xml needs to be updated as listed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724559
From BZ724559 moved RoleBasedPermissionResolver to the org.drools.guvnor.client.security.permission package which should fix this. please note that this fix requires a change in the documentation -> in components.xml from now on to configure role-based authentication it is no longer: <security:role-based-permission-resolver enable-role-based-authorization="false" /> but <component name="org.jboss.seam.security.roleBasedPermissionResolver"> <property name="enableRoleBasedAuthorization">false</property> </component> where the value can be false (default) or true for users to set role based auth to true.
Changes have been made to the Admin guide and will be live on the doc stage shortly: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_BRMS_Platform/5/html/BRMS_Administrator_Guide/chap-security.html#sect-security_authentication
QE verifies that the changes have been made.
