Hey All,

I've been using PHP for about the last 1.5 years and discovered Cake
last week.  I installed it, liked it, and am working to convert a
current site (that includes a homegrown admin area) to Cake.  It is
currently not using any framework.

Anywho...I have installed ACM and played with it just a little.  I did
some searching through the group, read anything I could find on it, but
still don't quite understand how it all works.

Right now, I have a table that contains people.  I have another table
called users that contains login, password, permissions and a foreign
key to the people table.  That way, only information pertinent to that
person's application settings is stored in the users table.  Everything
else about that person is stored in the people table.

I have no problem scrapping the above system if necessary.  I'd just
like to see more explanation of how ACM fits with everything else.
I've got it installed and can access the portion where I setup users
and groups.  However, the current users don't show up on the "Users or
Groups" page of ACM even though I set up the users and roles settings
in config.php.  It does see my controllers and when I add new groups, I
can setup their permissions for each controller.  I just can't add any
of my users to my groups because the users don't show up anywhere in
ACM.

By the way, you Cake guys have done a very nice job.  Ryan, ACM looks
good too.  More documentation would be nice, and I know you guys are
working on it.  I'd be willing to give some time to this project, but I
have much learning to do before I'll be helpful.
