<FONT color="green">027</FONT> * &lt;p/&gt;<a name="line.27"></a>

<FONT color="green">029</FONT> * ({@link java.util.Collection Collection}&lt;{@link String String}&gt;), typically each element being the Role name.<a name="line.29"></a>

<FONT color="green">031</FONT> * {@link Permission Permission}s are provided in two ways:<a name="line.31"></a>
<FONT color="green">032</FONT> * &lt;ul&gt;<a name="line.32"></a>
<FONT color="green">033</FONT> * &lt;li&gt;A &lt;code&gt;Collection&lt;/code&gt; of Strings, where each String can usually be converted into &lt;code&gt;Permission&lt;/code&gt;<a name="line.33"></a>
<FONT color="green">034</FONT> * objects by a &lt;code&gt;Realm&lt;/code&gt;'s<a name="line.34"></a>

<FONT color="green">037</FONT> * &lt;/ul&gt;<a name="line.37"></a>
<FONT color="green">038</FONT> * Both permission collections together represent the total aggregate collection of permissions. You may use one<a name="line.38"></a>
<FONT color="green">039</FONT> * or both depending on your preference and needs.<a name="line.39"></a>
<FONT color="green">040</FONT> * &lt;p/&gt;<a name="line.40"></a>
<FONT color="green">041</FONT> * Because the act of authorization (access control) is orthoganal to authentication (log-in), this interface is<a name="line.41"></a>
<FONT color="green">042</FONT> * intended to represent only the account data needed by Shiro during an access control check<a name="line.42"></a>
<FONT color="green">043</FONT> * (role, permission, etc). Shiro also has a parallel<a name="line.43"></a>
<FONT color="green">044</FONT> * {@link org.apache.shiro.authc.AuthenticationInfo AuthenticationInfo} interface for use during the authentication<a name="line.44"></a>
<FONT color="green">045</FONT> * process that represents identity data such as principals and credentials.<a name="line.45"></a>
<FONT color="green">046</FONT> * &lt;p/&gt;<a name="line.46"></a>
<FONT color="green">047</FONT> * Because many if not most {@link org.apache.shiro.realm.Realm Realm}s store both sets of data for a Subject, it might be<a name="line.47"></a>
<FONT color="green">048</FONT> * convenient for a &lt;code&gt;Realm&lt;/code&gt; implementation to utilize an implementation of the<a name="line.48"></a>
<FONT color="green">049</FONT> * {@link org.apache.shiro.authc.Account Account} interface instead, which is a convenience interface that combines both<a name="line.49"></a>
<FONT color="green">050</FONT> * &lt;code&gt;AuthenticationInfo&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;AuthorizationInfo&lt;/code&gt;. Whether you choose to implement these two<a name="line.50"></a>
<FONT color="green">051</FONT> * interfaces separately or implement the one &lt;code&gt;Account&lt;/code&gt; interface for a given &lt;code&gt;Realm&lt;/code&gt; is<a name="line.51"></a>
