Authorization stack for the CakePHP framework.

## Authorization not Authentication

This plugin intends to provide a framework around authorization and access

control. Authentication is a [separate

concern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns) that has been

packaged into a separate [authentication plugin](https://github.com/cakephp/authentication).

## Installation

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using

[composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```

composer require cakephp/authorization

```

Then load the plugin:

```

bin/cake plugin load Authorization

```

## Documentation

Documentation for this plugin can be found in the [CakePHP

Cookbook](https://book.cakephp.org/authorization/3/en/)
