Well, you're not too far off in thinking that... :)

FYI, I just finished rewriting the whole section:

http://book.cakephp.org/view/171/access-control-lists

(complete with a more concrete reference to LoTR)

I'm sure it needs a little more love, but hopefully it's better than  
it used to be. Feel free to dive in and fix my typos.

You don't have to know anything about fantasy novels to follow the  
examples.

I've made the examples more realistic, but kept them in the realm of  
demonstration. I usually don't like to
supply a lot of source. The point of the manual is to teach people how  
to understand and use the system,
not copy and paste. It's a fine line to walk, but I think it's an  
important decision.

Next on the list, the ACL console application, ACL + Auth, and the  
AclBehavior..... any takers? :)
