Re: admin application

I have had the same requirement, and ACL was "a bit heavy" for me too.
Plus I am too green to understand it.

Check out this tutorial that really helped me:

http://teknoid.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/simplistic-example-of-row-level-access-control-with-auth-security-and-app-model-in-cakephp/

I have applied the techniques in that tutorial, along with some
relationships amongst my tables. My project involves distributors who
own dealerships, the dealers have technicians and services. I want the
admin group members to see all, the distributor group members to see
only their distributor(s) plus only their associated dealers,
technicians, and services.

It takes a little coding in the controller but works very well. I can
post a sample of the code if you like. I'm sure there will be some
constructive criticism of the code, which I need to improve my coding
style with Cake.
