Description

There's quite a few types here (SecurityRealmService, SecurityRealm, SecurityRealmCharacteristics) along with a requirement for the end-developer to instantiate a SecurityRealmService bean... but all we do is use the value to hide/not hide an action.   

 

Seems to be over-engineered?  Can this be simplified, or perhaps even just removed?
