I am using the RoleAuthorizationStrategy (which uses
MetaDataRoleAuthorizationStrategyinternally) in my app and it works fine.  I
have a user object that has a list of valid roles in the application.

What I want to do now is make my pages role-based.  For example, if you are
an originator, you would have access to more fields (some enabled, some
visible).  In this case, the role depends not only on the User, but also the
specific data being viewed.  It looks like I could use the
MetaDataRoleAuthorizationStrategy (MDRAS) with a different
IRoleCheckingStrategy (maybe implemented by the page) to accomplish this.

If anyone has implmeneted a finer-grained, data-based role system as opposed
to a coarser-grained, application role system, would you mind sharing your
strategy?

As far as what I am going to look into...
I can see the way to register the MDRAS with the Application (add() method
on CompoundAuthorizationStrategy). I'm pretty sure that I would want to
unregister the instance when the page is done so that the authorization
checking didn't get slowed down by unneeded Authorization Strategies (AS)
(maybe make a new version of CompoundAuthorizationStrategy that has a
remove() method).  But when would I unregister the AS for the page?  When
the request is done?  What about AJAX calls?

Any suggestions?
