Howdy all, ACL seems to just be too complicated for what I'm doing, particularly with all the actions I have... the table is hard to keep organized, and it's way too hard to edit permissions. So I'm looking for something else.
The site I'm building has need for multiple user levels, but the user would only need to belong to one of these levels (for example, user, moderator, admin, site master). Here's what I'm thinking: An auth function I can put at the top of an action that I can either pass a number to, or an array of numbers to, as a minimum "level" for the user to access that action (or in the case of an array, each level defined as true/false). Each user would then simply have a number in their user data that would indicate their level. Questions: 1. Is there anything wrong with this (other than the fact that it goes against the grain of typical ACL)? 2. What would be the easiest way to implement this? Extend the auth class with a custom class and add my functions, or a new class, or just a function? 3. Any other suggestions that would handle what I'm looking for that I'm not considering?
