This CakePHP plugin is an interface to manage an ACL protected web application.

It is made to work with an application already configured with ACL. The documentation to configure the ACL can be found on the following links :

• http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/access-control-lists.html
• http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/simple-acl-controlled-application/simple-acl-controlled-application.html

Installation

• Download the plugin and put it in your 'app/Plugin' or 'plugins' folder

• Configure the 'admin' route (see http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html)

• Configure the plugin according to your web application:

  Some settings have to be read by CakePHP when the plugin is loaded. They can be found in the 'Acl/Config/bootstrap.php' file.

  You have two options to use these settings, as CakePHP doesn't automatically load the bootstrap.php files in plugins:

  1. Copy all the settings in your app/config/bootstrap.php file

  or

  2. Load the plugin bootstrap with the plugin

     CakePlugin::load('Acl', array('bootstrap' => true));
     

• Make sure the AclComponent is declared in your AppController and that your User and Group/Role models are configured to act as requester (see the CakePHP ACL tutorial)

• Access the ACL plugin by navigating to /admin/acl

About CakePHP 2.0

If you use CakePHP version 2.0, the plugin will work only if you do not use the E_STRICT error reporting level.

You can use E_STRICT error reporting level with CakePHP 2.1 or above.
