The permissions thing is a work in progress - eta 1 to 2 weeks. I haven't made a navigation plug in, but revisited it last week for a current project. When I've made the changes I need to I will create a plug in. Jeremy Burns Class Outfit jeremybu...@classoutfit.com http://www.classoutfit.com

Jeremy, I need something like this for a project as well. I'm glad I haven't yet started trying to figure out how to incorporate ACL into my project, because it seems like it would be a lost cause! What I'm after is something pretty simple like the permission schemes in JIRA (issue tracking softwa

I wondered about that user row as well. But the reasoning is that to determine the permissions for the user, it looks up the user record to find the complete permissions path in the ARO table and it does this without knowledge of what group the user is in until it starts this process. What really

I'm generally with you on that - although it's a shame. I love the concept but to my chagrin I have never got it working and haven't had the brain space to root through the code and queries to understand why. It also seems really odd to have to have a User row in the ACL tables when the User alr

The most maddening thing about ACL is that it is so close yet so far. If ever there was something you could call half-baked, ACL is it. What you seek is the kind of thing it should handle easily out of the box, yet it can't. Cake's ACL feels like it was a brilliant thought started by someone on t

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.

> Is there a way for a user to be part of multiple groups? Yes and no. ARO's and ACO's are organized in a tree-based fashion, so if a node is a child of another node, it inherits that node's permissions as well as the permissions of any node which the parent node is a child of. However, the con

I was looking throught the ACL documentation and became very interested in using it. My question is as follows: Is there a way for a user to be part of multiple groups? for example, if i have a user named john, i want him to be in both the UsersA and UsersB group. PageA which allows UsersA shoul
