I have a little problem isnisde my controller. I want that a user can access only inside some pages an andmin user inside more pages.
I have a controller called UsersController this is its beforeFilter method
public function beforeFilter () {
parent::beforeFilter(); // chiamo anche il callback beforeFilter dal parent per ottenere un'autorizzazione per l'utente loggato da tutte le viste $this->Auth->allow('index','view'); per tutti i Model
$views = array ('login','register','activate');
if ($this->Session->read('is_logged')) {
$views = array_merge ($views, array ('login','logout', 'change_password'));
if ($user_type == 'admin') {
$views = array_merge ($views, array ('add','delete','edit','create','index'));
}
}
$this->Auth->allow($views);
}
in this function guest can enter inside login, register and activate.
user logged can access inside login. logout and change_password, admin to the other pages more.
But this not works. For example a user logged can access inside the index view or add view.
Why this?
This is my beforeFilter inside appController:
public function beforeFilter () {
$this->setReleaseData();
$this->checkUserStatus();
$this->updateTimezone();
$this->setRedirect();
if($this->Session->read('is_logged')){
$auth_user = $this->Auth->user();
$this->set('user_type', $auth_user['group']);
}
}
How can I manage correctly permission to enter in pages?
Thanks
I see you are not using an Authorization Handler, thus you will have to manually deny the access to actions
$this->Auth->deny(array('index', 'add', 'edit', 'etc'));
EDIT
I would actually start by denying access to everything, in your beforeFilter (AppController)
$this->Auth->deny();
and then in the beforeFilter() of you specific controller
if ($user_type == 'admin') {
$this->Auth->allow('actionThatYouWantToGrantAccess');
}
I'd look into Auth Controller a little more. Try using Admin Routing (Turned on in App/Config/core.php) along with $this->Auth->allow() which can be set by default beforeFilter() in the AppController.php and then set with in each controller's beforeFilter as well.
/**
* @var mixed[mixed]
*/
public $components = array(
'Auth' => array(
'autoRedirect' => false,
'loginRedirect' => array(
'admin' => true,
'controller' => 'homes',
'action' => 'index',
),
'loginAction' => array(
'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login',
'admin' => false,
'plugin' => false,
),
'authenticate' => array(
'Form',
),
),
'Session',
'Cookie',
);
/**
* Before Filter callback
*/
public function beforeFilter() {
// Allow public views
$this->Auth->allow('index', 'view', 'display');
}
