Users plugin for CakePHP
========================

[](#users-plugin-for-cakephp)

A CakePHP 3.x plugin for users. The original concept is boilerplate user management using the default CakePHP Auth component.

To use this plugin simply require it with Composer.

```
$ composer require propellerstudios/users-plugin

```

Once Composer has the necessary files, run a migration to add the `users` table to your database.

```
$ bin/cake migrations migrate -p Propeller/Users

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

In order for this plugin to work properly, you must set the `bootstrap`directive on the plugin load command in your applications `bootstrap` file. The purpose of the plugin's bootstrap file is to load the configuration properly. The plugin also sets and handles routes.

```
Plugin::load('Propeller/Users', ['bootstrap' => true, 'routes' => true]);

```

There are several keys for configuring the Users plugin.

- `use_email_as_username`
- `first_user_is_admin`
- `use_main_route_scope`
- `use_dashboard_route`
- `open_registration`
- `send_email_verification`
- `white_list`

All of these keys are boolean values save for `white_list` which is an array of actions that are available to non-authorized visitors of the site. To overwrite any of these, *after* your `Plugin::load()` command, just rewrite the keys that you wish like so:

```
Configure::write('Users.white_list', ['index', 'view']);
Configure::write('Users.use_email_as_username', false);

```
