Hi, I have seen couple of use cases / need where we want to restrict result of search based on role of a user. For e.g.
- if user role is admin, any document from the search result will be returned - if user role is manager, only documents intended for managers will be returned - if user role is worker, only documents intended for workers will be returned Typical practise is to tag the documents with the roles (using a multi-valued field) during indexing and then during search append filter query to restrict result based on roles. Wondering if there is any other better way out there and if this common requirement should be added as a Solr feature/plugin. The current security plugins are more towards making Solr apis/resources secure not towards securing/controlling data during search. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Authentication+and+Authorization+Plugins Please share your thoughts. Thanks, Susheel
