Adding operations to the role on the fly

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hi all,

I have done role based authentication using PhpAuthManager. I have defined the operations and roles statically in my PhpAuthManager class which extends CPhpAuthManager.

Now I want to have single role but the operations those belongs to the role to be added or decided on the fly i.e when user logs in.

Can anybody please tell me how to do this?

To be honest, I do not really understand what you are trying to do.

But, let me give you this hint, if you are planning to change roles/operations/tasks/assignments during runtime, I would advise you using a database-based AuthManager, i.e. CDbAuthManager.

If you want to learn more about this, read the following manual:

Hi Daniel M,

  Thanks for the reply!

I will explain what I want -

Here is my PhpAuthManager Class -




<?php

class PhpAuthManager extends CPhpAuthManager{

        public function init(){

                $auth=Yii::app()->authManager;


                $changed = false;

                if ($auth->getAuthItem('main') === NULL) {

                        $auth->createOperation('main','Main Action');

                        $changed = true;

                }

                if($auth->getAuthItem('admin') === NULL) {

                        $role=$auth->createRole('admin');

                        $role->addChild('main');

                        $changed = true;

                }

                if ($changed) {

                        $auth->save();

                }

        }


        public function assignRole($role) {

                $auth=Yii::app()->authManager;


                # revoke all auth items assigned to the user

                $items = $auth->getRoles(Yii::app()->user->id);

                foreach ($items as $item) {

                        $removel = $auth->revoke($item->name, Yii::app()->user->id);

                }


                # assign new role to the user

                $auth->assign($role, Yii::app()->user->id);

                $auth->save();

        }

}

?>




 In my PhpAuthManager file I have init function in that I am initializing the roles and assigning operations to the role. In current situation I have one role - admin and one operation - main. I am assigning role to the user on demand - when user logs in.





  Instead I would like to have a single role like admin and operations to that role can be assigned in assignRole() function on demand and then that role will be assigned to the user.

I think somebody will help me in doing this!
