Re: ACL explained for 1.2?
Thanks. The lemoncake was one of the links I found wanting. I'll work through your tips when I move back onto this portion of the development. Thanks again.

The key for me was to install the ACL database tables and then start playing with the ACL Console manager and just looking at what happened in the database tables as I made modifications to the setup. Also, realize that if you are running Auth in 'actions' mode, the _create, _edit, _update, _delete columns in the acos_aros table need to always be set to 1 (happens automatically), because the permissions are going to be based on matching aliases and not based on crud mapping. If you use Auth in 'crud' mode, then those columns will be used and aco aliases will be less important --- I found 'actions' mode to be more flexible, and so am using that. Whenever I do a grant command, I have to add the * at the end to ensure that all four columns are set to 1. Be aware that if you are using the AclBehavior to automate things, you are going to have to create a custom function in your model to create the alias field in the aco or aro table. The AclBehavior does NOT touch help with the alias field. However, the alias field is very important, because it is what the Auth and Acl components use to determine permission. Also, in the time since some of the tutorials were written, there have been improvements made in the managing of elements in the tree. You can now more easily change the parent of an item and have it automatically moved to the correct position on the tree. As it is written, you cannot use an Aco ( in 'actions' mode ) with the alias Users/edit/53 in which 53 is the user's id, because Auth does not recognize the ID in it's action function. You will have to create a modified Auth::action() function, if you would like to use aliass such as Users/edit/53. With time you will start to get the hang of it, but be assured that it actually does work as advertised.

ACL explained for 1.2?
