I just use Auth and ACL for what you're talking about. That said, you said you already have access structured in the DB, so are you using a table in MS Access, users, or AD to control the database ACL?
If you're using a table to control your user access, the Cake Auth and ACL are pretty cool. Doing something more complex isn't something I've done, but it should be possible with the same framework.
