Class ControllerAuthorize
An authorization adapter for AuthComponent. Provides the ability to authorize using a controller callback. Your controller's isAuthorized() method should return a boolean to indicate whether or not the user is authorized.
{{{ public function isAuthorized($user) { if (!empty($this->request->params['admin'])) { return $user['role'] == 'admin'; } return !empty($user); } }}}
the above is simple implementation that would only authorize users of the 'admin' role to access admin routing.

__construct() public ¶
__construct( ComponentCollection $collection , string $settings = array() )
Constructor
Parameters
-
ComponentCollection$collection - The controller for this request.
- string $settings optional array()
- An array of settings. This class does not use any settings.
action() public ¶
action( CakeRequest $request , string $path = '/:plugin/:controller/:action' )
Get the action path for a given request. Primarily used by authorize objects that need to get information about the plugin, controller, and action being invoked.
Parameters
-
CakeRequest$request - The request a path is needed for.
- string $path optional '/:plugin/:controller/:action'
Returns
the action path for the given request.
mapActions() public ¶
mapActions( array $map = array() )
Maps crud actions to actual action names. Used to modify or get the current mapped actions.
Create additional mappings for a standard CRUD operation:
{{{ $this->Auth->mapActions(array('create' => array('add', 'register')); }}}
Create mappings for custom CRUD operations:
{{{ $this->Auth->mapActions(array('my_action' => 'admin')); }}}
You can use the custom CRUD operations to create additional generic permissions
that behave like CRUD operations. Doing this will require additional columns on the
permissions lookup. When using with DbAcl, you'll have to add additional _admin type columns
to the aros_acos table.
Parameters
- array $map optional array()
- Either an array of mappings, or undefined to get current values.
Returns
Either the current mappings or null when setting.
