--------------

[](#how-to-install)

### 1. Set up your Acl environment

[](#1-set-up-your-acl-environment)

- Install SQL tables through Cake Console
- parentNode() method on your requester models

See: [CakePHP: Simple ACL Controlled Application](http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/simple-acl-controlled-application/simple-acl-controlled-application.html)

### 2. Configure Auth in your AppController

[](#2-configure-auth-in-your-appcontroller)

It should look something like this:

```
var $components = array('Auth', 'Acl', 'Session');

function beforeFilter() {
    //Configure AuthComponent
    $this->Auth->authorize = array(
        'Controller',
        'Actions' => array('actionPath' => 'controllers')
    );
    $this->Auth->authenticate = array(
        'Form' => array(
            'fields' => array(
                'username' => 'login',
                'password' => 'password'
            )
        )
    );
    $this->Auth->loginAction = array(
        'controller' => 'users',
        'action' => 'login',
        'admin' => false,
        'plugin' => false
    );
    $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array(
        'controller' => 'users',
        'action' => 'login',
        'admin' => false,
        'plugin' => false
    );
    $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array(
        'controller' => 'products',
        'action' => 'index',
        'admin' => false,
        'plugin' => false
    );
}

function isAuthorized($user) {
    // return false;
    return $this->Auth->loggedIn();
}
```

### 3. Download AclManager

[](#3-download-aclmanager)

#### Manually

[](#manually)

Download the stable branch () and paste the content in your `app/Plugin/` directory.

#### With Composer

[](#with-composer)

1. [Install composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#locally) in the `app/` folder of your project.
2. Add `"fmcorz/acl-manager": "stable"` to your `require` key in your `composer.json` file. ([More about this](http://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#the-require-key))
3. Run `php composer.phar install` to install the plugin.

[Composer documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/)

### 4. Configure the plugin

[](#4-configure-the-plugin)

See `AclManager/Config/bootstrap.php`

AclManager.aros : write in there your requester models aliases (the order is important)

### 5. Enable the plugin

[](#5-enable-the-plugin)

In `app/Config/bootstrap.php`

```
CakePlugin::load('AclManager', array('bootstrap' => true));

```

### 6. Login with an existing user

[](#6-login-with-an-existing-user)

The plugin conflicts with `$this->Auth->allow()`, do not use it. Just make sure that you are logged in.

### 7. Access the plugin at `/acl_manager/acl`

[](#7-access-the-plugin-at-acl_manageracl)

- Update your AROs and ACOs
- Set up your permissions (do not forget to enable your own public actions!)

### 8. Disable the authorizer Controller

[](#8-disable-the-authorizer-controller)

Or uncomment `return false` in `AppController::isAuthorized()`

### 9. You're done!

[](#9-youre-done)

Enjoy!
