This method allows you to perform authorization based on the groups an user belongs to. Access is only granted if he is member of a set of groups.

To configure this method of authorization for a specific path just do:

​httpBuilder
​    .forPath("/admin/*")
​        .authorizeWith()
​            .group("Administrators");

Here, the group method expects one or more group names. When checking if an user is member of a Group, PicketLink will consider the parent-child relationship of each group defined in the configuration.
