Security Basics

Terminology
Realms are administrative domains and act as a namespace for all resources in Bondy i.e. all Users, Groups and Grants live within a Realm.
Authentication is the process of identifying a user.
Authorization is verifying whether a user has access to perform the requested operation.
Groups can have permissions assigned to them, but cannot be authenticated.
Users can be authenticated and authorized; permissions (authorization) may be granted directly or via group membership.
Sources are used to define authentication mechanisms. A user cannot be authenticated to Riak until a source is defined.
