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($user)
 {
     if ($this->request->getParam('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.

Namespace: Cake\Auth
See: \Cake\Controller\Component\AuthComponent::$authenticate

Property Summary

  • $_Controller protected
    Cake\Controller\Controller

    Controller for the request.

  • $_config protected
    array

    Runtime config

  • $_configInitialized protected
    bool

    Whether the config property has already been configured with defaults

  • $_defaultConfig protected
    array

    Default config for authorize objects.

  • $_registry protected
    Cake\Controller\ComponentRegistry

    ComponentRegistry instance for getting more components.

Method Summary

  • __construct() public

    Constructor

  • _configDelete() protected

    Deletes a single config key.

  • _configRead() protected

    Reads a config key.

  • _configWrite() protected

    Writes a config key.

  • authorize() public

    Checks user authorization using a controller callback.

  • config() public deprecated

    Gets/Sets the config.

  • configShallow() public

    Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config() which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.

  • controller() public

    Get/set the controller this authorize object will be working with. Also checks that isAuthorized is implemented.

  • getConfig() public

    Returns the config.

  • getConfigOrFail() public

    Returns the config for this specific key.

  • setConfig() public
