(I somehow hit tab+enter and submitted my post before I was finished, I'm sorry for the double post).
Hello, I have a users table with a role field. When a user logs in the Auth component stores that users info inside of: $session->read('Auth.User.role') Then inside of my view I can do something like this: <?php if ($session->read('Auth.User.role') == 'administrator'): ?> Give access to something only an admin should have, like an edit button or something <?php endif; ?> I'm wondering if this kind of access control is safe or is there a way a user could mess with this and set their session equal to administrator? My sessions are stored in the database. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
