ACL.PHP(1)

✨ NAME ✨ (acl.php, the ACL manager bestie 💖)

Okay so acl.php is the script that manages Access Control Lists (ACLs) for CakePHP applications 💅 It's giving "organized permissions" and I'm obsessed 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

acl.php <command> <arg1> <arg2> ...

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay bestie, so the acl.php script is literally the one that handles all your ACL stuff for CakePHP apps ✨ It's the main character of permissions 👑

---

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• create aro|aco <link_id> <parent_id> <alias> — Okay this one makes a brand new ACL object under whichever parent you pick with <parent_id> (an id/alias, see view) 🌸 The link_id lets you link a user object to Cake's ACL structures, and the alias lets you address your object with a non-integer ID 🧚

Example: "acl.php create aro 57 0 John" would create a new ARO object at the root of the tree, linked to 57 in your users table, with an internal alias `John'. 💅

• delete aro|aco <id> — Deletes the ACL object with the specified ID (see view) 🗑️💀
• setParent aro|aco <id> <parent_id> — Used to set the parent of the ACL object specified by <id> to the ID specified by <parent_id> 🌈
• getPath aro|aco <id> — Returns the path to the ACL object specified by <id> 🛤️ This command is is useful in determining the inhertiance of permissions for a certain object in the tree 🔍 It's so helpful, ngl 🫶
• grant <aro_id> <aco_id> <aco_action> — Use this to grant ACL permissions 💖 Once you run it, the ARO you specify (and its children, if any) will have ALLOW access to the specified ACO action (and the ACO's children, if any) ✅
• deny <aro_id> <aco_id> <aco_action> — Use this to deny ACL permissions 🙅‍♀️ Once you run it, the ARO you specify (and its children, if any) will have DENY access to the specified ACO action (and the ACO's children, if any) 🚫
• inherit <aro_id> <aco_id> <aco_action> — Use this to force a child ARO object to inherit its permissions settings from its parent 🦋
• view aro|aco [id] — The view command returns the ARO or ACO tree 🌳 The optional id/alias parameter lets you return only a portion of the requested tree, which is so iconic 👑
• initdb — Use this to create the database tables needed to use DB ACL 🧚💜
• -app — Absolute path to Cake's app directory 📁
• -core — Absolute path to Cake's cake directory 📂
• -root — Absolute path to Cake's /app/webroot directory 🌐
• -datasource — CakePHP datasource name 🍓
• help — Displays help message 🆘✨
