README

This plugin contains a new authorize class for use with the Acl component.

When the ActionsAuthorize maps requests to ACO nodes, it only allows for a maximum length of /:plugin/:controller/:action. The PathAuthorize class included with this plugin will allow you to use ACO nodes that include the record ID. So the path can now look like /:plugin/:controller/:action/:id. Allowing you to use the ACL to restrict access to individual records.

Requirements

• PHP 5.2.8
• CakePHP 2.x

	);
