ACL and Individual Users

Can someone help me understand how / if possible to define individual user permissions using ACL? Is there a good site that explains it? I read thru the Lord of the Rings and see you can define the permissions by hard coding it. But for my application the permissions need to be created / deleted or modified based on USERS specific criteria.

 

I have the USERS as GROUPS defined so each USER in that particular group has access to what parts of the site.

 

But say JEFF and TOM are in GROUP 1 but I want JEFF to be allowed to access a part (edit function in the controller lets say) that no other GROUP 1 user has access to.

 

Make it easier to understand would be a situation like this:

JEFF, TOM, BILL are all USERS belongTo Group 1

they can access courses_controller (index)

There are 100's of courses to choose from

 

JEFF pays to complete the COURSE on DREAMWEAVER and has 30 days access to that specific COURSE for 30 days then the access is denied.

TOM pays for the PHOTOSHOP COURSE which is 14 days and AJAX COURSE which is 21 days

 

Now with hundreds of courses and hundreds of users how would you maintain something like this? So they have access for a limited time depending on the seminar length then revoke access after the time has passed? Its the USERS themselves who determine access they have based on choosing the COURSE.

 

Thanks
