SecurityResources

Static-holder class of security resource name constants used to authorize access to certificate-related functionality. Each constant is a string identifier (matching the pattern Certificates<Action>[Osc][Ext]) that callers pass to the security/authorization subsystem to check whether the current user is permitted to view, maintain, renew, or set preferences for standard or OSC certificates, split into internal-user and external-user ("Ext") resource families.

Purpose

• Defines the resource name constants (View, MaintainOwn, MaintainOthers, Renew, Preference, MaintainOtherCoverages, and their Osc variants) that gate internal-user certificate operations.
• Defines the mirrored external-user ("Ext") resource name constants for the same set of operations, plus a general ExternalAccessCerts gate.
• Defines MaximumEditibleDays, a numeric constant likely used to limit how many days after issuance a certificate remains editable.*

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Services.Policies.Certificates
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Services (packaged inside the SAIF.SAIFCode.Core NuGet package).

Behavioral notes

• All members are public const fields with no instance state or behavior; the class exists purely to centralize authorization resource-name strings.*
• The class carries a CA1053:StaticHolderTypesShouldNotHaveConstructors suppression, confirming it is intended as a static constant holder despite having an implicit public constructor.
• A source comment ("move to saif.core. ...") indicates this type was intended to be relocated to a lower-layer library but has not yet been moved.*

Constraints and usage notes

• Consumers should reference these constants by name rather than hardcoding the resource-name strings, since the underlying string values follow an internal naming convention that could change.*

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
