Details

  • UserIdentity $user - the User object
  • bool &$authorized - Boolean return value (true if authorized, false otherwise)

The possible return values for the handler are defined in Manual:Hooks. In particular, if there has not been an error, the hook function should return no value or null to allow other handlers to run or it should return false to prevent further handlers from running. It is, therefore, possible that the value of $authorized passed in may be false from a previous handler invocation that returned no value or null. The handler may choose to override that value or to leave it unchanged.
