as its up to you how you structure your app you can have role or group based users
or just a plain user that does not relate to groups. I have three groups admin (1), members (2) & users (3) -- I am beginning to set up acl (you don't need acl for groups) [1] admin [6] sams [2] members [3] users [4] advanced [5] basic [7] suspended I am extending the CakeDC users plugin and am using grouped users not roles. https://github.com/CakeDC/users/ so I alter the table to have a group_id (group hasMany user, user belongs to group) when you retrive the session info this will have group info if relations are working correctly. if you use role based users then make a new field and enter admin or normal for each user. new users should be normal by default (make your app restrict the non admin users to own data and no access to view other user accounts nor create new accounts) the users plugin is a good source of info (setting it up may seem taxing but it is worth it) - S +44 (0)7908 069 219 On 29 June 2011 15:59, Prabha Vathi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > How does cake know whether it is a normal user or an admin user? > There are only two types.
