Hi,
"Is it possible to decide which users can access which features in a layer?"
I'm using the following solution for postgis datastore/layer:
* set a Session startup SQL (and session close-up SQL) in the
datastore. This will set a variable with the current GeoServer user.
e.g. startup "SELECT set_config('myapp.user', '${GSUSER,geoserver}',
FALSE)
close-up "SELECT set_config('myapp.user', '', FALSE)
* create a sql view, restricting the returned records with the set
variable (current_setting('myapp.user', TRUE))
normally you would have an additional table in your database with
mapping of usernames to records/spatial entities
Regards,
Stefan
