@rdohms The @Security annotation in Sensio FrameworkExtraBundle is only available in v3.0.0 which requires Symfony2.4 (we're still on sf2.3).  

I might be able to use the @Secure annotation provided by JMSSecurityExtraBundle instead, but I'm not sure if this is meant just for service classes and not controllers (http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/security/securing_services.html#securing-methods-using-annotations).  Please advise.
