Using Auth To Limit Results

Is there any quick / better way to use Auth to limit the results based
on the users login details or is it just a matter of using if/else
statments to get what you want.

For example, I have a list of products which all have a group id
assigned to them. Each user also has a group id. When the user is
logged in they are to only show the products that matches their group
id.

I'm only new to cakephp and still do not know all the tricks or short
cuts for things like this.

Thankyou

Re: Using Auth To Limit Results

I guess you can do something like this:

$group_id=$this->Auth->user('group_id');

$products=$this->Product->find('all',array('conditions'=>array('Product.group_id'=>$group_id)));

Is this what you're looking for ?

So we have users table, roles table, products table. users table has a
role_id (FK) and products table also has a role_id (FK). With $this-
>Auth->user() you can get the user details as array. Then check the
product table with the retrieve role_id.

Please note. Use the name roles for role table and role_id as a FK
name. Use cakePhp Auth component for loin sessions.
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1250/Authentication Understand how Auth
is used and implemented. May be you need to use ACL at one stage.

Experts might help more..

Taking that you are new to CakePHP this might be a bit too hard to
digest, but I recommend at least reading this article:

http://jmcneese.wordpress.com/2010/01/28/rmac-is-dead-long-live-rmac/

This is implementing UNIX-style permissions for Model access, which is
basically what you want.

Kind regards

Re: Using Auth To Limit Results

I don't see why this has to get any more complex than what Teddy
suggested? I have always stayed well clear of ACL as it was too
complex for me to implement when first learning CakePHP and I've never
needed more than standard Auth and User Groups in the many CakePHP
sites I have developed since.

@Thomas: I have however bookmarked that RMAC plugin for further
reading - maybe I should go back and look at ACL some time too.
