Exactly, it is a simple string with the name of the role.
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) {
if($model->save()){
/* get Role from its name : assuming 'auth_level' is the name of a role */
$role = Yii::$app->authManager->getItem($model->auth_level);
/* assign the role to the user */
Yii::$app->authManager->assign($role, $model->ID);
}
return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->ID]);
}
Missing function getItem, in the documentation it is getRole, however, I tried it and the assign() returns an error for empty value.
Checked the values for the following code:
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) {
if($model->save()){
/* get Role from its name : assuming 'auth_level' is the name of a role */
$role = Yii::$app->authManager->getRole($model->auth_level);
var_dump($role);
Yii::$app->end();
/* assign the role to the user */
Yii::$app->authManager->assign($role, $model->ID);
}
$role is a big fat āNULLā.
$_POST has the āauth_levelā set, still after populating the model it becomes BaseActiverRecord:private
$_POST = [
'_csrf' => 'WTZWeWptck5teWdNKz8gKClwZjE8GkU5LVESFVMfO2NubC4DDiEQFg==',
'MyUsers' => [
'username' => 'sass',
'employee_ID' => 'xyz123',
'name' => 'Kekeszes Tej',
'email' => 'dev@test.com',
'auth_level' => 'Level4',
'password' => 'asd',
'password_repeat' => 'asd',
],
];
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) {
print_r($model);
echo '<br><br>';
var_dump($model->auth_level);
Yii::$app->end();
print_r($model);

var_dump($model->auth_level);
NULL
By the way, thanks for warning me to use the AuthManager, I donāt know why I wanted to link relations on the first place. 
Here is the full print_r with validations etc.
