i want : ROLE_ADMIN access to projection default and ROLE_USER access to only projection pryvacy

Answer 1

Impossible. You need to implement the Controller to return different projection yourself.

Spring Data REST is not a silver bullet to solve all HTTP API problem. Just don't use it if it doesn't meet your requirement.
