Re: Two tables with multiple relationships

you can very well implement HABTM for users--modules relationship simplly including the owner as a user.
Further in the controller or view,give condition for only owner to be able to edit. Or u can  give a column as user_id in the module table, to track the owner of the modules, but if u go for HABTM, u can nytime change the privileges for the users in the future.

Hello Again Everyone-

I'm having a bit of trouble establishing my databases. To sum up my application, it allows users to make modules which then can be viewed by other users of the creator's choice. 

So I have:

User hasMany Module <-- This is where I place the user id number of the creator of the module

Module belongsTo User

User HABTM Module <-- This table is only for those who are allowed to view the module, but don't own it

But I feel that this isn't the right way to do it. How should I implement this?

Is it possible to do this solely in ACL? If so, how?

Thanks to everyone in advance for their help!
