Re: CakePHP Multilevel Users

I do something similar. But I DO use the Auth component. ACL is a
bit too much for my needs so I didn't go with it.

All I have is a status column in my user table that is an enum
('user','manager','admin').

I then use beforeFilters and isAuthorized in app_controller to check
for admin or manager in a route and verify the user is admin or
manager status ($this->Auth->user('status') == 'admin'). I went this
route because cake with the Auth component already gives you 2 layers
of authentication access just out of the box; but I wanted 3 layers
without getting into the complicated ACL component.
