------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAGNOLIA-4589
                 URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-4589
             Project: Magnolia
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 4.5.3
            Reporter: Tomas Brimor


The security API should allow you to test an arbitrary user's permissons 
against a specific Magnolia resource. As it is now only the logged in user as 
found in the context is accessible for permission testing.


Example of pseudo usage:

{code}
workspace = "someworkspace"
path = "/path/to/a/node"
node = NodeUtil.getNode(workspace, path)

userName = "myuser"
userObj = Security.getUser(userName)

hasPermission = Security.isGranted(userObj, node, Permission.READ)
{code}
