README

This plugins allows you to easily manage your permissions in CakePHP 2.x through the Acl module.

Features

  • Managing permissions for each node
  • Updating Database with missing AROs (Users, Roles, ...)
  • Updating Database with missing ACOs (Controller actions)
  • Revoking all permissions

Requirements

  • CakePHP 2.x

How to install

1. Set up your Acl environment

  • Install SQL tables through Cake Console
  • parentNode() method on your requester models

See: CakePHP: Simple ACL Controlled Application

2. Configure Auth in your AppController

It should look something like this:

var $components = array('Auth', 'Acl', 'Session');

function beforeFilter() {
    //Configure AuthComponent
    $this->Auth->authorize = array(
        'Controller',
        'Actions' => array('actionPath' => 'controllers')
    );
    $this->Auth->authenticate = array(
        'Form' => array(
            'fields' => array(
                'username' => 'login',
                'password' => 'password'
            )
        )
    );
    $this->Auth->loginAction = array(
        'controller' => 'users',
        'action' => 'login',
        'admin' => false,
        'plugin' => false
    );
    $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array(
        'controller' => 'users',
        'action' => 'login',
        'admin' => false,
        'plugin' => false
    );
    $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array(
        'controller' => 'products',
        'action' => 'index',
        'admin' => false,
        'plugin' => false
    );
}

function isAuthorized($user) {
    // return false;
    return $this->Auth->loggedIn();
}

3. Download AclManager

Manually

Download the stable branch (https://github.com/FMCorz/AclManager/archive/stable.zip) and paste the content in your app/Plugin/ directory.

With Composer

  1. Install composer in the app/ folder of your project.
  2. Add "fmcorz/acl-manager": "stable" to your require key in your composer.json file. (More about this)
  3. Run php composer.phar install to install the plugin.

Composer documentation

4. Configure the plugin

See AclManager/Config/bootstrap.php

AclManager.aros : write in there your requester models aliases (the order is important)

5. Enable the plugin

In app/Config/bootstrap.php

CakePlugin::load('AclManager', array('bootstrap' => true));

6. Login with an existing user

The plugin conflicts with $this->Auth->allow(), do not use it. Just make sure that you are logged in.

7. Access the plugin at /acl_manager/acl

  • Update your AROs and ACOs
  • Set up your permissions (do not forget to enable your own public actions!)

8. Disable the authorizer Controller

Or uncomment return false in AppController::isAuthorized()

9. You're done!

Enjoy!
