If you have a look at the api for ACL you will find that ACL provides a number of methods that aren't obvious from the documentation. One of them (I don't remember which) takes an ARO id as an argument and returns a tree of ACO objects that the ARO has access to. I think that this should suite your needs. ... I have just tried to work back through the code and extract the key part, but for the life of me I can't find what I am looking for in the api, or the Cake ACL code. I did however discover the following thread that I posted on this subject a while ago: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/263d3ffd6fb7533d/94779c7877163bb0 It explains what I did and shows the code that I used. However I can't find the parts of the api that it depends upon. Let me know if you need more explanation.
