TinyAuth CakePHP plugin

The fast and easy way for user authorization in CakePHP 3.x applications.

NOTE: Docs will now move into repo.

Basic Features

• Singe or multi role
• DB (dynamic) or Configure based role definition
• INI file (static) based access rights (controller-action/role setup)
• Lightweight and incredibly fast

Do NOT use if

• you need ROW based access
• you want to dynamically adjust access rights (or enhance it with a web frontend yourself)

Planned features (not yet available):

• AuthShell for easy CLI access / setup
• Web frontend to optionally allow dynamic access rights

Docs

Most of the docs is still valid, with the exception of the migration changes above.

Upgrade/Migration guide from 2.x

Coming from the Tools plugin in 2.x, the following changed for the 3.x version:

• We now use tables instead of models, thus the plural version everywhere: CLASS_USER is now probably Users etc
• Config option aclModel is now aclTable, and plural Roles by default.
• Configure::write()/read() now also expects the plural Roles key if you define configure based roles: $config['Roles'] = ...
• Since session access is now not static anymore, the Auth class itself as convenience wrapper should not be used anymore. Instead the functionality of it could be used in conjunction with components/helpers. For models the information should be passed in from the controller.
