Re: Modeling an Employee/Company Hierarchy
I have recently worked through a similar problem. I'm building a site to manage characters, and the organizational structure of a military unit in a game I run in my spare time. In my case i wanted to have one table to store all of the organizational levels (I called them divisions), with a type field that helped determine what level they were at. I then had a position table which stored the various position names, and also linked them to a particular division and a character. Thus each character could have multiple positions, in different divisions. What I'm not sure about is whether this would work for your situation. You said you think the structure is like this Example: CEO ---> Directors > Managers ---> Individual contributors. If you don't have unit divisions within your unit, you could substitute each position into the tree with a parent ID pointing up, and then have a link table that would allow the individual to have or report to many. In my case, I was torn between putting the semantics of the Positions into the Tree's at a level below their respective divisions, and then only attaching characters there, but I really felt that was not a good idea for my current project. If an employee can serve multiple positions and report to multiple people, it almost sounds like you might need one table for the position -> Character relationship, and another to store the character to multiple character/managers. I guess it depends on how much complexity you need. Hope this gives you some ideas.

Re: logout not authorized to access
I thought it was not 'kosher' if you will to allow logout as that
would mess the Auth Component up (according to the Example in the
appendices anymore? Is this now no longer the case?

Auth/ACL and redirect to home
I am coming back to CakePHP after having given it a rest for a few
months, and am really enjoying the new features in 1.2. I've gone
through and used Mark Story's fabulous auth and ACL tutorial, and have
it working pretty well, but there is one thing I'm not sure about. I
know if you are on another page (you clicked somewhere that required
permissions and you were not authenticated or logged in), that it
redirects you to the login then back. That's fine, but what I'm not
sure is how to handle the redirect when a user is coming from the
'home' page
I think I've got it figured out by setting my login redirect in
AppController to:
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'display', 'home');
However, I've noticed that sometimes I have to login twice before it
redirects. Has anyone else experienced similar behavior? Before I
made this change it seemed to work fine, and does on any page that
requires a login to get you ACL permissions.
