Module context 

Security Context for accessing the current authenticated user.

Spring Security Equivalent

org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolder

Overview

The SecurityContext provides access to the current authenticated user from anywhere in your application, not just from request handlers.

Usage

use actix_security_core::http::security::context::SecurityContext;

// In a service layer function
fn get_current_username() -> Option<String> {
    SecurityContext::get_user()
        .map(|user| user.get_username().to_string())
}

// Check if current user has a role
fn is_admin() -> bool {
    SecurityContext::get_user()
        .map(|user| user.has_role("ADMIN"))
        .unwrap_or(false)
}

Thread Safety

The context uses task-local storage, making it safe for async code. Each async task has its own isolated security context.

Structs

SecurityContext

Holder for the current security context.

SecurityContextGuard

Guard that clears the security context when dropped.
