Your application sounds simple enough that you may not need ACL- however, you may find ACL useful if you expand your app to have different permission levels for different groups. Take a look at Croogo CMS- it has the most intuitive, easy to use implementation of ACL in Cakephp that I've seen. If you end up using ACL, you might find Croogo useful in piecing it together. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

No need for ACL. If you're using AuthComponent this is a cinch.
In your view:
if ($this->Session->read('Auth.User.id'))
{
// display faves button
}
In your controller, DO NOT add the faves action to the
$this->Auth->allowedActions array.
Pass the Image.id to the action and get the User.id with $this->Auth->user('id')

User accounts to restrict specific features
Hello everyone, I'm making a website and I need the following feature: - The website will have a lot of pictures in slideshows that can be seen by anyone - Images will have an 'Add to favorites' button - If a user is registered and logged in already, when he clicks the 'Add to favorites' button, the current image will be stored in his profile in the database - If a user is not logged in or registered yet, when he clicks the 'Add to favorites' button, he will be prompted to either register or log in, and after completing that, the image will be added to the favorites section of his profile. My question is: what's the best option to accomplish this? My website is running under CakePHP 1.3, and I've been looking at the ACL tutorial, but I'm not sure if that's what I need to do this. What about Cake's Session? Or maybe it will be easier to use "normal" PHP code (as if I wasn't using CakePHP). I'm not sure what way to go. I have some PHP knowledge but I've never worked with user accounts, and I'm not sure what's the best approach for my specific needs. Any advice would be appreciated, or link to a good tutorial or something. The ACl tutorial in CakePHP's website is meant to block users from accessing some pages without being logged in, but I'm not sure that I can apply it to my functionality...
