Interface Slice

All Known Implementing Classes:
BasicSlice
public interface Slice
A Slice is a set of policies, entities; in essence, it is the part of the Cedar database that is needed to answer a particular request. A slice is provided to the authorization engine to evaluate a request. The creation of a slice is very important, if the slice leaves out a relevant policy, the authorization engine may return an incorrect answer. The safe, easy choice is to have a slice always contain every policy and entity.
