I'm just getting to grips with Cake, and I have a basic problem with
ACLs. I'm dealing with authentication using my own User model and
controller, and that's fine. Now the problem is that a user can access
multiple accounts, and can have different permissions in each (they
might be an admin in one, a user in another). As far as I can see,
there's no way to model that with Cake's ACLs. I've found some other
posts that ask much the same question, but I've not found a definitive
answer. I guess I could make each account an ACO, but then I'd be stuck
as I would not be able to distinguish admin from regular user accounts,
because each ARO can only have one parent.

Before looking at the ACLs, I had started making my own access
mechanism using a group mechanism that allowed multiple group
membership (like UNIX perms), but that suffers from other limitations.
Is there a mechanism that combines both?

Another smaller problem - When I start adding AROs, I need to have some
basic preset ACOs to assign them to - how would I go about
bootstrapping these into a fresh setup?
