I am building a site where a user can be assigned one or more roles within an organisation; for example org unit manager, regional manager, Head of Function and so on. I want to create a permissions model - ideally using ACL (although I've never really 'got' ACL before and have never successfully deployed it <embarrassed>) - that mirrors this structure.
My constraints are that: - each user can be assigned more than one role - each role has different rites on objects in the system - if a user is in two roles that have different permissions on the same object he/she gains the most privileged rites - the permissions apply at a row level (e.g. an org unit manager can manage his/her org unit, but no others) I have successfully built this in another system in ASP where I rolled my own permissions model that did exactly what I wanted it to do and it was easy to administer. Is this achievable with Cake out of the box, or should I roll my own again? If it can be done with Cake's ACL, which is the best guide to refer to (not the online book - I know about that)?
