Equivalent to the deprecated <sec:authorize> ifNotGranted attribute
jsp, jsp-tags, spring-security
Solution
SpEL expression can be negated with `!` operator:
<sec:authorize access="!hasRole('ROLE_ACCOUNTS')">...</sec:authorize>

Problem
I would like to prevent an image having a link if a user does NOT have a certain role. e.g. ``` <sec:authorize ifNotGranted="ROLE_ACCOUNTS" ><img src="someimage.jpg"/></sec:authorize> <sec:authorize ifAllGranted="ROLE_ACCOUNTS" ><a href="somelink.htm"><img src="someimage.jpg"/></a></sec:authorize> ``` However ifNotGranted and ifAllGranted are now deprecated in favour of the access expression. I can see that ifAllGranted can be replicated with: ``` <sec:authorize access="hasRole('ROLE_ACCOUNTS')"><a href="somelink.htm"><img src="someimage.jpg"/></a></sec:authorize> ``` But how can ifNotGranted be replicated using the access method? Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
