So this is what I ultimately came up with:
function permissions(){
$id = $this->request->data['Permissions']['id'];
$fields = array();
foreach($this->request->data as $fieldName => $val){
if($fieldName != 'Permissions'){
array_push($fields, $fieldName);
}
}
foreach($fields as $field){
foreach($this->request->data[$field] as $key => $value){
if($value == 1){
$this->Acl->allow(array('model' => 'Subgroup', 'foreign_key' => $id),
array('model' => 'ControllerNode', 'foreign_key' => $key),
strtolower($field));
}else{
$this->Acl->deny(array('model' => 'Subgroup', 'foreign_key' => $id),
array('model' => 'ControllerNode', 'foreign_key' => $key),
strtolower($field));
}
}
}
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'Subgroups', 'action' =>
'edit/'.$id));
}
Any suggestions on improvement would be cool, but this seems to work as
expected. The whole Idea is to create a permissions control panel that lets
me add actions to controllers without coding anything. Then I can assign
permissions for each action per group/subgroup/user again without needing
any code. Seems to work pretty well.
