In your example, you want to do:
cake acl create aro root chris
which will allow you to do:
$this->Acl->check('chris', 'users/add', '*');
In this situation, the model and foreign_id fields will be blank.
However, Auth, when it performs check() is only using alias, so
strictly speaking, the model and foreign_id fields are not needed.
BUT...
The model and foreign_id fields WILL be used by the Acl Behavior if
you use it.
If you are using the Acl Behavior, and it is properly configured, then
when you create a new User or Group, the new Aro node will
automatically be created at the same time with matching model and
foreign_id fields, but NOT alias.
Since the Auth Component relies on an alias, you will have to set the
alias manually in an afterSave function in your User model.
As a general rule of thumb, the alias field is used more oftne than
the model and foreign_id fields are.
