Check if a role is granted using a regular expression in Symfony2?

Question

My roles are something like SEND_SMS_100 , SEND_SMS_200 or more in general SEND_SMS_X where X is an integer. It's the maximum number of small text message that an user can send over a month. An user should have at max one of this role. I'm looking for:

• ensure SEND_SMS_X is granted
• extract X integer

AFAIK this will not support regular expression based search:

$this->get('security.context')->isGranted($roleName);

Answer 1

I think this is bad design - this shouldn't be something that is controlled by roles.

You should probably have a $smsPerMonth property on your user entity so you can call getSmsPerMonth() instead of using many different roles to figure out how many SMS messages a user can send.
