Role management user interface in cakePHP


Is there any easy way to create a user interface to role management section(allow or deny permissions) for admin in cakePHP?

easy way means any inbuid helper or something?


Solution

  • You can check out the bakery for the ACL plugin. This provides you with an admin interface (UI) for handling an existing aro/aco structure, at least the CRUD functionality (I have not played long with the plugin). If you don't have an aro/aco structure yet, follow the tutorial at the end of the manual.

    If you simply look for a group based, individual based rights management, same tutorial could be all you need, as moving users between groups leads to different access rights.
