How to check "hasRole" in Java Code with Spring Security?

In Spring Security, you can check if a user has a specific role using Java code by leveraging the SecurityContextHolder and Authentication objects provided by Spring Security. Here's how you can do it:

  • Ensure that you have Spring Security configured in your project. You should have security-related configurations in your Spring configuration file or Java configuration class.

  • Import the necessary classes:

import org.springframework.security.core.Authentication; import org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolder;
  • Use the following code to check if the current user has a specific role:
// Get the current authentication context from SecurityContextHolder Authentication authentication = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication(); if (authentication != null && authentication.isAuthenticated()) { // Check if the user has a specific role boolean hasRoleAdmin = authentication.getAuthorities().stream() .anyMatch(authority -> "ROLE_ADMIN".equals(authority.getAuthority())); if (hasRoleAdmin) { // The user has the "ROLE_ADMIN" role // Perform the appropriate actions for an admin user } else { // The user does not have the "ROLE_ADMIN" role // Perform actions for users without this role } } else { // No user is authenticated // Perform actions for unauthenticated users }

In the code above:

  • We retrieve the current authentication object from the SecurityContextHolder.
  • We check if the authentication object is not null and if the user is authenticated.
  • We use the getAuthorities() method to obtain the user's roles as a collection of GrantedAuthority objects.
  • We use the stream() and anyMatch() methods to check if any of the authorities match the desired role. In this case, we check if the user has the "ROLE_ADMIN" role.

Make sure to replace "ROLE_ADMIN" with the actual role you want to check for. This code can be placed in your Java service classes, controllers, or any other component where you need to perform role-based access control.
