I have been searching on google the list of available roles in spring security, but I haven't been able to get the complete list.
¿Could someone help me with this?
This is what I've found: ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_USER, ROLE_VISITOR.
The list of roles is not dictated by Spring Security, but is entirely up to what is required in a particular application.
The list of roles could for example be stored in the application's database. See for an example Spring Security's JdbcUserDetailsManager class which can be readily used to manage users, roles and authorities (privileges) in the database.
As Markus said there are no fixed number of roles in spring security.
Have a look at the javadoc for org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority.
Extending it allows you to override the getAuthority method from which you can return any role string you like.

I found no documentation for management.security.roles configuration. What are the actual differences between these valuse?
These are just examples, there's nothing specific in Spring Boot about these.
The only thing is that the management security role defaults to ADMIN. So if your user happen to have that role, then you'll be able to access the secured actuator endpoints. You can change that value to anything you want and that's where the SUPERUSER role came from (it's just an example).
I want to get the list of all users in a specific group of an LDAP directory, and also I'm using Spring Security LDAP; and I cant find any thing that could solve my issue.
I'm already have Spring Security LDAP and I can get context and principal and so on.
I also read my Spring Security LDAP plugin functions but found nothing to get list of all users.
What should I do? Did I have to make a query? If yes, how?
In context of spring security, the framework only aims to find the LDAP user and then verifies if the passwords are correct.
The loading of roles can be done multiple ways, but usually boils down to:
Specifying which LDAP User attributes should be loaded as Roles
Provide your own custom 'role' mapper, as described in Handling roles when authenticated to active directory with spring security 3.1
If you want to do some plain LDAP Search outside of the Spring security context, I would suggest you take a look at the example in chapter 1.2 of the Spring LDAP Reference guide.

I am using Spring security core & Spring security UI in my project. I have a requirement in which i need to create 2 different type of users: Sellers and Buyers. When user goto home page he can select what type of account he wants to create either buyer or seller.
What i have to do it make it work with spring security UI plugin. Do i have to create different Registration pages for different type of users. But then how i can assign roles at the time of registration.
I checked various questions posted before posting this question and could not find the right answer. I am new to Grails and will appreciate if Grails experts can help me with this issue.
I hope I have understood your question, I was a bit confused about mixing login with registration in your question.
Once you have created your user create UserRole based on the selected role, either ROLE_BUYER or ROLE_SELLER. This can be done in UserController create method.
As for login you don't need to have two different logins, you can always create a filter, interceptor, or any aspect oriented technique to intercept the request and redirect user to the proper section of your site. This way you're authorization is loosely coupled. Imho, there is no need to use Spring Security UI for authorization specific goals. Spring Security Core does much better job wrt url mapping/annotations.
Spring security gurus,
I am new to spring security so please bear with me if my questions are not clear.
I am trying to implement role based access control using spring security 3.x. Individual users are stored in Windows AD without groups so we cannot simply map groups to authorities as some samples demonstrated.
So my plan is to use Windows AD for authentication purpose only, but the user <-> roles relationship to be maintained by Spring security itself.
However, mapping individual user to roles would be very tedious so my question is if possible to configure users <-> groups <-> roles in spring security but the authentication part has to be done by Windows AD?
As spring security is highly flexible I believe my requirements are achievable. Can someone give some pointers on where I should look at please?
The more details the better for newbies like me :=)
Thank you in advance.

EDIT 1: To add onto my question in particular, can I utilize the Spring database tables authorities, groups, group_authorities, group_members to implement a simple role based authroization logic? But I can't use "users" table as ealier explained the user details will have to be stored in Windows AD so the authentication of the users need to be done using Windows AD.
Any advices?
Thanks
Aaron
First some clarification on the terminology: Authorities, usually consisting of roles in Spring Security, are application-wide permissions. ACLs (Access Control Lists) on the other hand, specify permissions on specific domain objects. Just as you understand the difference. AD usually contains authorities/roles, but not ACLs.
If you don't want to use the authorities from AD, you can do your own implementation of UserDetailsContextMapper and inject it in your instance of ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider. See the Spring Security reference documentation how to specify a custom authentication-provider.
If you want to use the tables (authorities etc) of reference schema, you can use JdbcDaoImpl to load the user details. You then have to insert the users in the users table but not any passwords since authentication is done through AD. If you want to get rid of the users table however, you must customize the implementation.
I want to make method level security for my spring application.
The security design is as follows: User > Roles > Permissions
Well when i use #PreAuthorize with hasRole it works fine.
But when i try to use it with hasPermission, it doesn't work.
I found that i should use Spring ACL for such approach, but it seems to be over-killing for the requirement.
So is there's any way to define role permissions in xml file, or any other workarounds or other ways to get method level security works with permissions instead of roles, and withour using ACL.
If there's no way but to use ACL, then please suggest me a good example
Please read the article on the following site:
http://springinpractice.com/2010/10/27/quick-tip-spring-security-role-based-authorization-and-permissions/
The main thing is you will need to implement the UserDetails interface. It says
"the UserDetails interface simply exposes the permissions (not the roles) via the getAuthorities() method"
