deployer is responsible for the following security-related tasks:
Mapping the application permission model provided by the application assembler to policies and mechanisms specific to the operational environment.
Assigning principals to the security roles in the deployment descriptor.
A deployer receives the packaged files and deployment descriptor from the application assembler. The assembler assigns a logical name to the security role, which may not be used in the real environment. The deployer matches this logical name to the real user.
