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? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
