Current Stable Release
======================

[v1.3.2 Released](https://github.com/xiidea/ezRbac/archive/1.3.2.zip)!


How To Install
==============

Installation of this library is simple 4 steps

1. Put **ezRbac** in the **third_party** Directory of your application (or use [composer command](./docs/composer.md))

2. Run the SQL in schema directory or create three tables in your database manually.

3. Set `$config['enable_hooks'] = TRUE;` at **./application/config/config.php**

4. Set `$config['encryption_key'] = SOME_SECRET_KEY;` at **./application/config/config.php**

5. Add a hook in **./application/config/hooks.php**

```php
$hook['post_controller_constructor'] = array(
'class' => 'EzRbacHook',
'function' => 'accessCheck',
'filename' => 'EzRbacHook.php',
'filepath' => 'third_party/ezRbac'
);
```

Map custom actions to access map
================================

Define a public function named access_map in your controller something like bellow:

```php
public function access_map(){
return array(
'index'=>'view',
'update'=>'edit'
);
}
```
The index of the array is the actual action name, and the value mapped to the access privileges configured as `$config['default_access_map'] = array("view", "create", "edit", "delete", "publish")`

##Default credential

If you have imported the provided data.sql then the default credential is

user: [email protected]
password: 123456

ezRbac Specific URL
===================

logout url : `/index.php/welcome/index/rbac/logout`

acl manage url : `/index.php/welcome/index/rbac/gui`

If you have enabled the routing(see **How to eneable Routing**) then you can access all url like `/rbac/(logout|gui)`

How to enable Routing
======================

Its easy to enable with 2 steps

1. Set `$config['use_routing'] = true;` at **./ezRbac/config/ez_rbac.php**

2. set `$route['^(rbac)/(.+)$'] = $route['default_controller']."/index/$1/$2";` at **/application/config/routes.php** (where **rbac** can be replaced whatever you like by setting the `$config['ezrbac_url'] = 'rbac';` )

Customization
=============

Most of the customization can be done through setting configuration values. you can customize configuration in two ways:

1. (The Easy way) Modify the configuration to match with your choice at **./third_party/ezRbac/config/ez_rbac.php**
2. (The Advanced way) Make a copy of **./third_party/ezRbac/config/ez_rbac.php** as **./application/config/ez_rbac.php** or Create new file to override the default settings. These way whenever you do update the library, you do not need to worry about your configuration values.

You can override the view file also. just copy the view files into **/application/views/ezrbac/** and modify as per your need. Currently only views in **login** directory is extensible.
