'authManager'=>array(
'class'=>'CDbAuthManager',
'defaultRoles'=>array('guest'),
'connectionID'=>'db',
That is my default role and for some reason it remains the active role, even after logging in. When I log in as superadmin with all operations and child roles assigned to my account, Yii::app()->user->checkAccess() only returns true for operations that are assigned to guests.
Did you assigned the role to your superadmin?
Yii::app()->authManager->assign('aminUser', 'adminRole');
Yes, print_r(Yii::app()->authManager->getRoles(1)); returns a CAuthItem Object called superadmin. "1" is my user id.
I have found the problem. For some reason Yii::app->user->getId() returns the name rather than the unique key of the member.
Hi, did you find a way to resolve the problem? I’m having the same issue… getId returns the name and checkAccess doesn’t work…
found it 
forgot to override the getId method in UserIdentity class to return $_id
could you please help me. let me know this is correct or not
private $_id;
