ACLs are based around the idea of **resources** and **roles**: - a **resource** is an object to which access is controlled; - a **role** is an object that may request access to a resource. Put simply, roles request access to resources. For example, if a parking attendant requests access to a car, then the parking attendant is the requesting role, and the car is the resource, since access to the car may not be granted to everyone. Through the specification and use of an ACL, an application may control how roles are granted access to resources. For instance, in a web application a *resource* can be a page, a portion of a view, a route, etc. A *role* can vary based on the context in which the request is made: it could be the client identity sent with an API request; whether the users is an *anonymous guest* or a *registered user* of the site; etc. Configure an ACL system ----------------------- [](#configure-an-acl-system) You can provide your ACL definitions using a configuration file, as follows: ``` // config/autoload/authorization.local.php return [ // ... 'mezzio-authorization-acl' => [ 'roles' => [ 'editor' => [], 'contributor' => ['editor'], 'administrator' => ['contributor'], ], 'resources' => [ 'admin.dashboard', 'admin.posts', 'admin.publish', 'admin.settings' ], 'allow' => [ 'administrator' => ['admin.settings'], 'contributor' => [ 'admin.dashboard', 'admin.posts', ], 'editor' => [ 'admin.publish' ] ] ] ]; ``` > We use this same example in the documentation of [mezzio-authorization-rbac](https://docs.mezzio.dev/mezzio-authorization-rbac/v1/intro/#configure-an-rbac-system), so that you can compare and contrast the two systems. The above configuration defines three roles for a blog web site: an *editor*, a *contributor*, and an *administrator*. The *contributor* role has the *editor* role as a child role, meaning it inherits its capabilities. The *administrator* role has the *contributor* role as a child, inheriting both its direct capabilities, as well as any that role has inherited. > In ACL systems, parent roles inherit the permissions of their children. Within mezzio-authorization-acl, *resources* are mapped to the *route name* currently being requested. By default, all resources are denied access, unless otherwise stated. In our example, we allow the route `admin.settings` for the *administrator*, the routes `admin.dashboard` and `admin.posts` for the *contributor*, and the route `admin.publish` for the *editor*. Because the *contributor* inherits permissions from *editor*, they will also have access to the `admin.publish` route. Because the *administrator* inherits permissions from *contributor*, they will have access to *all* routes. You can also deny a resource using the `deny` key in the configuration file. For instance, you can deny access to the route `admin.dashboard` by the *administrator* by adding the following configuration in the previous example: ``` return [ // ... 'mezzio-authorization-acl' => [ // previous configuration array 'deny' => [ 'administrator' => ['admin.dashboard'] ] ] ] ``` The usage of `allow` and `deny` can help to configure complex permission scenarios, including or excluding specific authorizations. As noted earlier, mezzio-authorization-acl uses the current route name to determine the resource. If you want to change the permissions type and the logic for authorization, you will need to provide a custom implementation of [`Mezzio\Authorization\AuthorizationInterface`](https://github.com/mimmi20/mezzio-generic-authorization/blob/master/src/AuthorizationInterface.php). > mezzio-authorization-acl uses [laminas-permissions-acl](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-permissions-acl)to implement its ACL system. For more information, we suggest reading the [laminas-acl documentation](https://docs.laminas.dev/laminas-permissions-acl/).
