Re: acl tutorial, problem with command line

I usually do that via a temporary function in one of the controllers -
it basically acts as the command line does, I personally prefer doing
it this way because I think it is easier.

I have attached one of my temporary functions for reference below.
Once you have added it to your users controller and accessed it in
your browser (/users/initDb) it will set the permissions in the
database.

So the code below, I have two groups admin (1), and member (2) and I
have setup the root for all controllers as "controllers" (you should
already have done this at the command line). It is then just a case of
assigning permissions where necessary. I have granted admin all
permissions. I then denied members everything and assigned them access
to things I would like them to access.

Hope this helps, it does take a bit of getting your head around! (code
is below):

// Build permissions function:
// "controllers" is the top level (site), followed by controller,
followed by action.
function initDb() {

// we dont need a view for this action:
$this->autoRender = false;

$group =& $this->User->Group;

// Admins
$group->id = 1;
$this->Acl->allow($group, 'controllers');

// Members
$group->id = 2;
// initially deny everything:
$this->Acl->deny($group, 'controllers');
// Now state exactly what is allowed:
$this->Acl->allow($group, 'controllers/Comments/add');
$this->Acl->allow($group, 'controllers/Comments/edit');
}
