Class ControllerAuthorize

An authorization adapter for AuthComponent. Provides the ability to authorize using a controller callback. Your controller's isAuthorized() method should return a boolean to indicate whether or not the user is authorized.

public function isAuthorized($user) {
    if (!empty($this->request->params['admin'])) {
        return $user['role'] === 'admin';
    }
    return !empty($user);
}

the above is simple implementation that would only authorize users of the 'admin' role to access admin routing.

Methods inherited from BaseAuthorize

__construct()source public

__construct( ComponentCollection $collection , string $settings array() )

Constructor

Parameters

ComponentCollection $collection: The controller for this request.
string $settings optional array(): An array of settings. This class does not use any settings.

action()source public

action( CakeRequest $request , string $path '/:plugin/:controller/:action' )

Get the action path for a given request. Primarily used by authorize objects that need to get information about the plugin, controller, and action being invoked.

Parameters

CakeRequest $request: The request a path is needed for.
string $path optional '/:plugin/:controller/:action': Path format.

Returns

string
the action path for the given request.

mapActions()source public

mapActions( array $map array() )

Maps crud actions to actual action names. Used to modify or get the current mapped actions.

Create additional mappings for a standard CRUD operation:

$this->Auth->mapActions(array('create' => array('add', 'register'));

Or equivalently:

$this->Auth->mapActions(array('register' => 'create', 'add' => 'create'));

Create mappings for custom CRUD operations:

$this->Auth->mapActions(array('range' => 'search'));

You can use the custom CRUD operations to create additional generic permissions that behave like CRUD operations. Doing this will require additional columns on the permissions lookup. For example if one wanted an additional search CRUD operation one would create and additional column '_search' in the aros_acos table. One could create a custom admin CRUD operation for administration functions similarly if needed.

Parameters

array $map optional array(): Either an array of mappings, or undefined to get current values.

Returns

mixed
Either the current mappings or null when setting.
