ACL Scenario
Wondering if I could get some general feed back on what would be the best way to set up ACL with a situation like this. Education site basically. A User signs up and during registration they select they teaching professional level ( Pre-School thru Grade 12 each with a value in the database 1-13 or such) In the site the User can add a article(Post or whatever) but the only people who can see the messages/articles would be the people in the same professional level. So a grade 3 teacher can only see content added by other grade 3 teachers and so on like that. Now I was wondering how would I set something like that up? Would I just set all the teachers up in 1 group then in the controller, based on the professional level set up the restrictions and filtering of the content? So when the teacher logs in use their level to run a query to pull the data related to them? Ideas, thoughts, suggestions? thanks, Dave --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Trying to conceptualize an ACL scenario
I'm having a bit of an issue trying to conceptualize how to use Cake ACL to handle a particular business case that we need to solve. I'm pretty solid on the basics of using AROs and ACOs, and I'm not worried (for the moment) about the technical implementation. I just can't get my head around how to go about structuring my AROs. We have Users and a basic smattering of Groups (Superuser, Office Admin, Assistant, Manager, Data Expert) as AROs. So far, no problem visualizing that. Where I get into a quandry is that we also have Sites (physical locations), and access is often, but not always, based on the intersection of Group and Site - ie, some ACOs restrict access by Site, some by Group, and some by both. I can't figure out a simple way to structure these. We're looking at hundreds or thousands of Sites, so I'd prefer not to create each Group for each Site if it can be helped, but at the moment, I'm not seeing another way. Any ideas? Am I missing something really obvious? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.
