locality/cakephp-authorize

CakePHP plugin including a new authorize class for the Acl component.

CakePHP Authorize

This plugin contains a new authorize class for use with the Acl component., _(*1)

When the ActionsAuthorize maps requests to ACO nodes, it only allows for a maximum length of /:plugin/:controller/:action. The PathAuthorize class included with this plugin will allow you to use ACO nodes that include the record ID. So the path can now look like /:plugin/:controller/:action/:id. Allowing you to use the ACL to restrict access to individual records., _(*2)
