Description

It would be nice if the jackrabbit.accessmanager bundle expose OSGI service(s) that maps exactly the functionalities of the REST services, so that one can use their features also in a programmatic way.

This can be useful if an application has to manage permissions without having an explicit request object (ex: from an EventListener), or in the case a user has to manipulate his account (in this case he doesn't have an administrative account, so his requests are not permitted to modify users). Also i think that, in certain situations, it could be just cleaner and simpler to write a servlet or script that directly invoke the methods, instead of find the way to invoke the REST services.
