User Permissions (Access Control) :: Simplified

Cake’s built in ACL library is pretty nice but it requires a ton of configuring and a substancial learning curve. So I go to thinking... Is there an easier way to do this? I think I have found out how...

more coming soon...

• Users are parts of “groups” which have “group_permissions”. (IE.. players, admins, artists, etc)
• Users can also have defined “user_permissions” which are set on a user level.
• Each controller/action call will be automatically checked against a users allow/disallow persmissions.
• No configuration needed. To start just set the default group to “/.*” or “/anything/that/we/can/think/of”
