Anyone used phpGACL with CodeIgniter? - El Forum - 09-12-2007
[eluser]bradym[/eluser]
For a project I'm working on I need more fine-grained access control than is available in the ACL libraries I've seen for CodeIgniter. More specifically, I need the ability to allow or deny individual users or user groups access to pages on the site.
I'm considering creating a CI library to incorporate phpGACL as it seems to be the best fit for what I need. Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions? Is there a library out there that will do this that I just missed?
TIA for any help!
Brady

phpGACL is dependent on ADODB, so you will need to rewrite the queries to use CI's abstraction layer. Otherwise, you can use ADODB. See this url:

You might wander over to sqlrecipes.com and take a look at the fine-grained RBAC system developed there. The implementation is said to meet NIST guidelines for Role Based Access Control. It is roughly equivilant to using GACL with AXOs. As a starter, you will need to strip out their sessions code and replace the database code with CI dbal equivalents.
