Thanks Greg,
I will keep that in mind and see how it goes. Will ask you if I have any questions on possibly setting this up. Good looking out J Dave From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Skerman Sent: Sunday, July 15, 2012 10:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Admin / Prefix When Baking Well, my setup is pretty crude, but works well. I basically have the following structure: User hasAndBelongsToMany Group Group hasMany Permission a permission is essentially a wildcard string... id, group_id, permission, allow 1, 1, '/*', true a component does a beforeFilter check on the requested URL and checks that the user is in a group which 'allows' them to see that URL...(this isn't my idea, I saw an implementation of it a couple of years back and rolled my own flavour of it) I then have a permissions helper which allows the view to detect whether or not a given user is a member of a given group (implementation is an exercise for the author). so the permissions work 2 fold, firstly whether or not they can actually get to the resource to begin with, and secondly check whether or not the user is a member of a specific group. You can then do things in your view like... if($this->Permission->is('admin')) { echo $this->element('admin.widget'); } else { echo $this->element('user.widget'); } ACL can be used to achieve a simillar result, however the one weakness I found in ACL is you can't have a user belonging to multiple groups. So you can't have a user who is a member of the Authors group, and also a member of the Moderators group - unless all Authors are also Moderators in the ACL tree. The result is that an Author, or an Admin both go to the same resource (/posts/view) but the content of the view is different depending on their role(s).

I never have heard about that idea / approach so any details as to how exactly it would work.

I'd probably skip ACL (because it doesn't support users belonging to multiple groups), but a simple structure of User HasAndBelongsToMany Group, then a component which allows you do to something like $this->Permission->is('admin') etc to restrict access/conditionally load elements and so forth will be far easier to work with.

But with 60 controllers that a lot of copy and paste. Just curious if there was a do all at once to save time. Easier to remove them where not needed rather than copy and paste for each J Thanks all the same.
