Struct SecurityContext 

pub struct SecurityContext;

Holder for the current security context.

Spring Security Equivalent

SecurityContextHolder

Provides static methods to access the current authenticated user from anywhere in the application.

Implementations

impl SecurityContext

pub fn get_user() -> Option<User>

Gets the current authenticated user.

Spring Security Equivalent

SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal()

Returns

• Some(User) if a user is authenticated in the current context
• None if no user is authenticated

Example

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

if let Some(user) = SecurityContext::get_user() {
    println!("Current user: {}", user.get_username());
}

pub fn get_username() -> Option<String>

Gets the current username if authenticated.

Example

let username = SecurityContext::get_username();

pub fn is_authenticated() -> bool

Checks if the current user is authenticated.

Spring Security Equivalent

SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().isAuthenticated()

pub fn has_role(role: &str) -> bool

Checks if the current user has the specified role.

Example

if SecurityContext::has_role("ADMIN") {
    // Admin-only logic
}

pub fn has_any_role(roles: &[&str]) -> bool

Checks if the current user has any of the specified roles.

pub fn has_authority(authority: &str) -> bool

Checks if the current user has the specified authority.

Example

if SecurityContext::has_authority("users:write") {
    // Write access logic
}

pub fn has_any_authority(authorities: &[&str]) -> bool

Checks if the current user has any of the specified authorities.

pub async fn run_with<F, R>(user: Option<User>, f: F) -> R

where F: Future<Output = R>,

Runs a closure with the given user set in the security context.

Spring Security Equivalent

SecurityContextHolder.setContext(context)

This is primarily used internally by the security middleware.

Example

let user = User::new("admin".into(), "password".into());

SecurityContext::run_with(Some(user), async {
    // Code here can access SecurityContext::get_user()
    let username = SecurityContext::get_username();
}).await;

pub fn set_user(user: Option<User>)

Sets the user in the current security context.

Warning

This should only be called from within a run_with scope. Calling it outside a scope will have no effect.

pub fn clear()

Clears the security context.

Spring Security Equivalent

SecurityContextHolder.clearContext()
