Interface AuthorizationPreprocessor

@Contract
public interface AuthorizationPreprocessor

Defines the API for services which provide additional information to be used during authorization.

The implementations of this interface provide name/value pairs as Maps which will become AzAttribute objects attached to the subject, the resource, or the action before command security invokes the authorization service. We use Maps here rather than collections of AzAttributes to minimize dependencies on Az classes.
