I have asked a similar question a few days ago. If I understood you
correctly, then you basically want people to be member of more than
one group. I have been told that I would leave the normal acl way
there and I would have to implement my authentication myself.
Basically something like;
// in beforeFilter() eventually in app_controller.php
$this->Auth->authorize = 'controller';
and then implement a function isAuthorized()
function isAuthorized() {
// get authed user
// Loop his groups
// foreach group call $this->Acl->check($group, $current_aco_path)
// if one call returns true, return true else false
}
regards,
Jens
