The error you're encountering is an AuthorizationException from the Apache Shiro framework, indicating that the current user does not have the necessary permissions to invoke the specified method. Here's a breakdown of the key elements in the error message and what you can do to resolve the issue:

Error Explanation

Cause

The AuthorizationException is thrown because the current user's security profile does not meet the necessary authorization criteria defined for accessing the getAttachments method of the ZhreEmployeeController. Apache Shiro uses annotations or programmatic security checks to enforce method-level access controls.

Steps to Resolve

  1. Check Security Configuration: Ensure that the Apache Shiro security configuration (possibly shiro.ini file or programmatically configured realm) correctly defines roles, permissions, and access policies that include the method in question.

  2. Examine User Permissions:

    • Verify that the user has the correct roles or permissions assigned to access the method.
    • Check if there are any conditions or constraints that might affect the user’s access (like time-based restrictions or conditional permissions based on user attributes).
  3. Review Annotation on the Controller:

    • Look at the ZhreEmployeeController class, specifically the getAttachments method.
    • Check for method-level annotations like @RequiresPermissions or @RequiresRoles that dictate what permissions or roles are required to access this method.
  4. Audit Logs: Review security logs if available, to see if there are other underlying issues or repeated access denials that might indicate configuration problems or unauthorized access attempts.

  5. Testing:

    • If changes are made to configurations or permissions, test with a user account that should have access to ensure the problem is resolved.
    • Additionally, test with a user that should not have access to ensure that unauthorized access is still being correctly blocked.
  6. Documentation and Support:

    • Refer to the Apache Shiro documentation for more detailed information on configuring permissions and roles.
    • If using a custom Realm or other security integrations, ensure compatibility and correct implementation according to the framework's requirements.

Example Annotation

If you are using annotations to control access, the getAttachments method might look something like this:

@RequiresPermissions("employee:attachments:view")
public ZhreEmployeeAttachmentDTO getAttachments(Long employeeId) {
    // method implementation
}

Ensure that the user has the employee:attachments:view permission either directly assigned or through a role that includes this permission.

Conclusion

The AuthorizationException is primarily about access control and permissions. By reviewing and adjusting the security configurations, user roles, and permissions as necessary, you can resolve the access issue. Also, ensure that your changes maintain secure access principles, only granting the necessary permissions to each role or user.
