It is very difficult to understand, but I'm finally getting ACL and
Auth working in my app. I have a User model and a Group model (pretty
much copied from the Cookbook). I have figured out a few things but
there are still things that are not clear. Here's what I know:
In order to allow public access to a specific action I can use $this-
>Auth->allowedActions = array('actionName'); in the beforeFilter.
Then, if I want specific permissions I can set those with an entry in
the aros_acos table which references the aco and aro tables by id.
That works great if I'm just restricting and granting access to entire
actions. But what if I want to check who's logged in and do things a
little differently (display different links, etc.) depending upon what
group they belong to?
Here's where I get a bit confused. First of all, if I do the shell
command "cake acl view aro" I get this:
[1]Group.1
[4]User.1
[5]User.2
[2]Group.2
[3]Group.3
So, I'm not seeing the names of the groups or the names of the users
and it's hard to figure out what's what.
When I do this in the view:
<? debug($session->read('Auth')); ?>
I get this:
Array
(
[User] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[username] => jason
[group_id] => 1
)
)
I don't get any group info... How is this supposed to work?
Thanks,
Jason
