| Rank | | final public class Rank implements Comparable<Rank>,java.io.Serializable(Code) | | This class defines Rank objects which are used in security implementation. Ranks can be
associated with users. Every Rank has an unique integer 'height' (so every rank is higher or
lower than any other rank) and a String which can be used to identify it.
Possible Ranks are maintained by static methods in this class. Generally the 'anonymous', 'basic
user' and 'adminstrator' ranks should always be available, and only be delete with good reason.
