Re: Woes of ACL

Unfortunately that did not work for me. I ended up using the check() method in my app_controller to determine access: var $userId = null; function beforeFilter() { if (null != ($this->userId = $this->Auth->user('id'))) {

RE: Woes of ACL

In your controllers do you have something like: function beforeFilter() { parent::beforeFilter(); $this->Auth->allowedActions = array('register', 'index');// allow public access to these only $this->Auth->autoRedirect = true; } Dave
