You right! this is my second post in fact! I came back to CAKEPHP, and after playing around with it and understanding it better I must say it's simply great!
I'm testing the last alpha version (1.2.0.5146alpha). Not sure if I misunderstood something but as I undestood, in my AROS I must set every user. Namely if an user logs in, I must set i.e. (from http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/479cd6f421ed29f7/e3786402ef869517?lnk=gst&q=ACl+1.2&rnum=1#e3786402ef869517) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- //get the aro model $aro = $this->Acl->Aro; //create a new aro for User:scook, related to a user in the Users table $aro->create( array('model' => 'User', 'foreign_key' => 2, 'alias' => 'scook') ); //save the new aro $aro->save(); -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above code assumes that user.id = 2 and user.username= scott in my User DB table What I want to achieve is the following: A) allow/deny access to users according to the Group they belong to B) allow to edit/delete let's say a userprofile or a user post only if an user is the OWNER of that post (has posted it) or if he belongs to a group higher in the ranking What I don't want: C) enter a record in the ARO table foe every user i.e. $aro->create( array('model' => 'User', 'foreign_key' => 2, 'alias' => 'scook') ); Hope I have been less cryptic!
