           Summary: no way to define a policy for all users
           Product: Yanel
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Security
        AssignedTo: michael.wechner at wyona.org

In *.policy files there is no way to define a policy for all users registered
in a realm.
This forces to define a group, ensure all users are initially added to this
group and stay in it, and apply the policies to this group.

When the total number of users gets large, this may quickly become a problem!


First we could define a XML format for defining the policy: I'd suggest
"<all-users/>".

Second we may need to change some APIs, for example
org.wyona.security.core.UsecasePolicy only deals with identities (including
WORLD) and groups.
Maybe "all-users" could be a special case of Identity?
