Re: Help with ACL

Hi Stinkbug,
Thanks again for your interest in helping me out. Sorry for the delay.
I was able to setup permission dynamically. But still it is not
proper. Before going further I will provide you my table structure

offices table:
id - int
name - varchar

groups Table
id - int
office_id - int
name - int

users table
id - int
group_id -int
name - varchar
password - varchar

The aco, aro and acos_aros table is created by cake console script. I
hope you dont need those tables. I have not altered it.
My requirement is to set up roles with permission set for controller/
action access. Each offices will have a set of groups. These 4 groups
will be common for all office and the rules are predefined for these
for groups. Even the administrator cannot change the roles for these
four groups. Rest of the groups cannot be the duplicate for any office
and the administrator can edit the permission for these groups.
Groups will have many users and these users are depended on the
office. That is user of office 'z' can be a part of group 'f' if and
only if 'f' is a child group of 'z' office. A user can have multiple
groups. I will post the code I have below. Now I am able to save a
group under an office with a set of permission correctly. My issue is
that:
1) I am not sure how to set 4 common groups to a offices when that
office is created.
2) I am not sure on how to set up multiple groups for a user.

Now I will provide the code I have done till date

MODEL
1) Office model - http://pastebin.com/m3f1f37de
2) Group model - http://pastebin.com/m4464956
3) User model - http://pastebin.com/m1e7543f

CONTROLLER
1) Groups Controller: http://pastebin.com/m315b2987

I have done nothing related to ACL in office and user controller. The
code which I have posted above was the result of lot of researches I
had done on ACL :D. I guess this would be enough for you to understand
what I am trying to do. I hope you will try to help me soon. Thanks
once again.
