NAME
acl.php - manages Access Control Lists (ACLs) for CakePHP applications
SYNOPSIS
acl.php <command> <arg1> <arg2> ...
DESCRIPTION
The acl.php script manages Access Control Lists (ACLs) for CakePHP
applications.
OPTIONS
create aro|aco <link_id> <parent_id> <alias>
Creates a new ACL object under the parent specified by
<parent_id>, an id/alias (see ’view’). The link_id allows you to
link a user object to Cake’s ACL structures. The alias parameter
allows you to address your object using a non-integer ID.
Example: "acl.php create aro 57 0 John" would create a new ARO
object at the root of the tree, linked to 57 in your users
table, with an internal alias ‘John’.
delete aro|aco <id>
Deletes the ACL object with the specified ID (see ‘view’).
setParent aro|aco <id> <parent_id>
Used to set the parent of the ACL object specified by <id> to
the ID specified by <parent_id>.
getPath aro|aco <id>
Returns the path to the ACL object specified by <id>. This
command is is useful in determining the inhertiance of
permissions for a certain object in the tree.
grant <aro_id> <aco_id> <aco_action>
Use this command to grant ACL permissions. Once executed, the
ARO specified (and its children, if any) will have ALLOW access
to the specified ACO action (and the ACO’s children, if any).
deny <aro_id> <aco_id> <aco_action>
Use this command to deny ACL permissions. Once executed, the ARO
specified (and its children, if any) will have DENY access to
the specified ACO action (and the ACO’s children, if any).
inherit <aro_id> <aco_id> <aco_action>
Use this command to force a child ARO object to inherit its
permissions settings from its parent.
view aro|aco [id]
The view command will return the ARO or ACO tree. The optional
id/alias parameter allows you to return only a portion of the
requested tree.
initdb Use this command to create the database tables needed to use DB
ACL.
