I do a similar thing but I an using the Auth component without ACL.
However, I have added a 'role' field to my users table so I can select
actions based on the user's role like you desire.
In my controller I have the following:
class PagesController extends AppController {
public $name = 'Pages';
.
.
.
public $components = array('Auth');
public function beforeFilter() {
// Allow all pages to be accessed by all users by default
$this->Auth->allow('*');
// If the client or admin is not logged in, deny access to edit
functions
$role = $this->Auth->user('role');
if ($role == 'client' || $role == 'admin') {
$this->set('role', $role);
}
else {
$this->Auth->deny('edit', 'add', 'delete');
}
}
}
In the view I have:
if (!empty($role) && ($role == 'client' || $role == 'admin')) {
echo $html->link('Action 1',
array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'action_1'))."\n";
}
if (!empty($role) && ($role == 'admin')) {
echo $html->link('Action 2',
array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'action_2'))."\n";
}
echo $html->link('Action 3',
array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'action_3'))."\n";
So
User Links Displayed
admin action_1, action_2, action_3
client action_1, action_3
all action_3
I hope this helps
