Hi guys,

I've spent tonight trying to wrap my head around Authentication and Access
Control in Cake 1.2. I think I understand it, but I soon realised that I
don't think it does what I require, so can anyone help me on this
concept?....

I'm developing an application that requires almost completely user-generated
Access Control. For example, one "group" will be able to assign another
"group" permissions to access their information.

I will be storing these permissions in a lookup table, so an example
workflow would be...

"If the user belongs to a group which is allowed to access the requested
information (i.e. a SPECIFIC database row), let them have it, if not, better
luck next time."

Unfortunately, this isn't all the AC that I require. I would also need to
bind this concept to the standard "logged-in, not logged-in" auth, etc.

Even though I've not being looking into this for long, I can already see
myself going rapidly insane -- is there anyone out there that can enlighten
me?

Thanks.
