Hi all, I am still a newbie to CakePHP and have given myself a huge test by recoding one of my clients large active applications as my first CakePHP project.
This application allows my client (a national homeless charity) to offer a management system to its regional affiliated Schemes. The Schemes can log all referrals they get into one database and run off their own reports, but the national charity can then produce stats giving a national perspective. The Charity gets restricted access to all the data, the regional Schemes get full access to their own data and can also give Agencies access to submit referrals and view restricted information about their referrals. I am using Auth in it's most basic form without issue which after a succesful login adds the data from the User model into the session, but I would also like to add extra information into the session from other models depending on the users group, such as Group: Developer (Me) - Auth.Person - Auth.Organisation Group: Administrator (National Charity) - Auth.Person - Auth.Organisation Group: Scheme Manager (Scheme) - Auth.Person - Auth.Organisation - Auth.Scheme Group: Agency Manager (Agency) - Auth.Person - Auth.Organisation - Auth.Scheme - Auth.Agency I assume that I would do this by adding some code somewhere in the AppController, but where and how would I call it? I don't think it would go in beforeFilter() as that would try and run even if a user wasn't authorised, or would I put a call in there that first checked if the user was logged in and then ran an action which would add my extra data to the session? I have looked long and hard at the ACL component, but got nowhere with it and the amount of ACO records I would need to create and maintain for this app would me massive.
