- CakePHP 2.x

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

*\[Manual\]*

- Unzip that download.
- Copy the resulting folder to app/Plugin
- Rename the folder you just copied to Authorize

*\[GIT Submodule\]*

In your app directory type:

git submodule init
git submodule update

```

*\[GIT Clone\]*

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In `app/Config/bootstrap.php` add: `CakePlugin::load('Authorize');`

Configuration AclAuthorize:
---------------------------

[](#configuration-aclauthorize)

Setup the authorize class

Example:

```
    //in $components
    public $components = array(
        'Auth' => array(
            'authorize' => array(
                'Controller',
                'Authorize.Acl' => array('actionPath' => 'Models/')
            )
        )
    );
    //Or in beforeFilter()
    $this->Auth->authorize = array(
        'Controller',
        'Authorize.Acl' => array('actionPath' => 'Models/')
    );
```

In the above example `ControllerAuthorize` is checked first. If your `Controller::isAuthorized()`returns true on admin routing, AclAuthorize will only be checked for non-admin urls. Also you need to set `actionPath` in a similar way which is used with Actions- and CrudAuthorize.

Configuration HabtmDbAcl:
-------------------------

[](#configuration-habtmdbacl)

Setup the HabtmDbAcl adapter

in app/Config/core.php

```
Configure::write('Acl.classname', 'Authorize.HabtmDbAcl');
```

Make sure if you need to alter settings for HabtmDbAcl, you pass those to AclComponent `$settings['habtm']`, and have it loaded before any Auth configuration.

```
    //in $components
    public $components = array(
        'Acl' => array('habtm' => array(
            'userModel' => 'Users.User',
            'groupAlias' => 'Group'
        )),
        'Auth' => array(
            //your Auth settings
        )
    );
```
