You can read more about Yii's authorization manager in the framework documentation under [Authorization](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-security-authorization.html#role-based-access-control-rbac). Auth based on original code of [yii-auth](https://github.com/crisu83/yii-auth) extension and fully rewrited for using with Yii 2. Also fork contain all original releases for Yii 1.x. **At this moment module supports only DbManager.** ### Demo [](#demo) Coming soon. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Setup [](#setup) The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/). Add ``` "binn/yii2-auth": "*" ``` to the require section of your `composer.json` file. Add module to application config and configure `authManager` component: ``` return [ 'components' => [ 'authManager' => [ 'class' => 'auth\components\DbManager', // or 'auth\components\PhpManager' ], // ... ], 'modules' => [ 'auth' => [ 'class' => 'auth\Module', ], ], ]; ``` Please note that while the module doesn't require you to use a database, if you wish to use ***yii\\rbac\\DbManager*** you need it's schema (it can be found in the framework under `yii\rbac\migrations`). ### Configuration [](#configuration) Configure the module to suit your needs. Here's a list of the available configurations (with default values). ``` 'auth' => array( 'userClass' => Yii::$app->user->identityClass, // the name of the user model class. 'userIdColumn' => 'id', // the name of the user id column. 'userNameColumn' => 'name', // the name of the user name column. 'applicationControllers' => [], // the path to controllers files that will be using for generates permissions. 'admin' => [], // users with full access to module. 'accessFilterBehavior' => [], Configuration for custom access filter. ), ``` ### Checking access [](#checking-access) When you wish to check if the current user has a certain permission you can use the ***User::can()*** method which can be access from anywhere in your application through ***Yii::$app*** like so: ``` if (Yii::$app->user->can('itemName')) // itemName = name of the operation { // access is allowed. } ``` In order to keep your permissions dynamic you should never check for a specific role or task, instead you should always check for an operation. For more information on Yii's authorization manager refer to the framework documentation on [Authorization](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-security-authorization.html#role-based-access-control-rbac). #### Checking access using a filter [](#checking-access-using-a-filter) You can also use a filter to automatically check access before controller actions are called. Operations used with this filter has to be named as follows ***(moduleId.)controllerId.actionId***, where ***moduleId*** is optional. For example ``` public function behaviors() { return [ 'access' => [ 'class' => AccessControl::className(), 'rules' => [ [ 'allow' => true, 'actions' => ['error', 'login', 'logout'], ], [ 'allow' => true, 'roles' => [$this->getRuleName($this->action->id)], ], [ 'allow' => true, 'matchCallback' => function () { return !Yii::$app->user->isGuest ? !empty(Yii::$app->user->identity->isAdmin) : false; }, ], ], ], ]; } ``` For more information on how filters work refer to the framework documentation on [Controllers](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-structure-filters.html).
