Question

I have a simple application using the Play! framework’s secure module. My ‘Users’ controller extends CRUD and is protected by @Check(‘admin’), so users have to be admins to access CRUD methods. However, I’d like anyone to be able to create new Users– like a “Sign Up” or “Register” button.

What is a good way to do this, given that all of my Users methods except Create should be protected? Can I apply @Check(“admin”) to individual methods?

Here is my Users controller:

package controllers;

import play.*;
import play.mvc.*;

@Check("admin")
@With(Secure.class)
public class Users extends CRUD {
};

In my practice, I create new controller in another package with the same name for doing this.

For example,

So, I think the best way is you should put Sign up method in the Non-Admin.

After I find some reference, this link has same idea with you and the answer of this topic is like what I said.

Can I apply @Check("admin") to individual methods?

Yes, you can. But you need to use @With(Secure.class) in that controller first.
You can see the example in Secure Module Documentation.
