CakePHP ZoneAcl Plugin
CakePHP ZoneAcl plugin takes a little different approach to handling permissions in your CakePHP application. ZoneAcl lets you divide your application contollers/actions into groups, called zones. After you defined your arbitrary zones, you decide which users or groups get permission to which zones on any criteria you like. It provides simplicity and flexibility to your application acl.

Setting up zones
Zones are defined in an ini file. Defining zones and adding urls (controller/action) to it is simple.
Zones are denoted by "[zone:zonename]". You can add as many zones as you like as long as their names do not match. Please use array key friendly zone names.
One url can be in several zones if you like. Urls in the zones can be defined with regular expressions (recommended) or simply the whole controller/action combination.
Url format
- Contoller/action
- Plugin/Controller/action
You must use the actual controller and action names i.e. use UserProfiles not user_profiles for UserProfilesController and use view_detail for view_detail action. Urls are case-sensitive by default, which can be turned off by changing the “case-sensitive” setting to false. Please refer to the zone-acl.ini file for more useful examples of urls.
Example: app/Config/zone-acl.ini
Setting up Aro
Setting up an Aro is easy. It is basically identifying a user with the session data and determining which zones they can access. The determination part is totally up to your application's need. It can be as simple or as complex as one needs. The Aro can be any object implementing the ZoneAroInterface.
Example:
Once your Aro is ready, plug that Aro to ZoneAcl at AppController::beforeFilter().
Example:
ZoneAclHtml Helper
ZoneAclHtml Helper provides a convenient way of hiding disallowed links. It extends the HtmlHelper. It provides 2 methods.
Any view file:
Tips
- Use regular expression often for optimized performance and to reduce the number of urls in the ini file
- Put the urls that have high traffic on top of the list, so that it is matched faster
- Seperate a controller's long list of actions into serveral urls for easier readability of your settings
