Yes, it's a huge can of worms. > > I thought ACL only kicked in after the user has authenticated and that > before that happens, for unauthenticated guests, you are stuck with > whatever Auth allows or denies. Yes, that's what I meant about actions vs parameters. But, if you need a fine-grained system to grant access to the pages, what I suggested won't work. I thought you only had 2 classes of users: those who could see all pages, and those who should only see 'home'. If you need to grant different access to some pages for already-authenticated users you'll need to either use ACL or something you roll yourself. Actually, on second thought, I suppose that the approach I suggested would still work. But you'll still need some ACL business in your display() action.
