Hi,
J2EE container managed security uses role names to perform authorization. The security role is defined in the web.xml file and can be used in web applications through the isUserInRole("RoleName") method exposed on the Http Request object.
In JSF this method is exposed through
FacesContext.currentInstance().getExternalContext().isUserInRole("RoleName")
As shown in SRDemo, to declaratively use J2EE security roles in JSF, create a managed bean e.g. authzbean and create boolean methods for each of teh roles
public boolean isUserManager(){
  return FacesContext.currentInstance().getExternalContext().isUserInRole("Manager")
}This method can then be accessed from EL to e.g. set the displayed property. Note that container managed authorization is different from ADF Security authorization but can be used in combination if the JAZN Realm login module is used
