How to integrate different level of admins

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

I have the following options for a user in the database:

levelid=1 to 5 where 1=superadmin 2=admin 3=manager 4=editor 5=guest

I would like certain controllers and methods to be accessible by only some of the members.

How would I define these in Yii?

How can I make sure that superadmin has all the rights of admin, and admin has all the rights of manager?

How will I identify a user in what category does he belongs to?

How can I restrict a user’s access to content?

How can I check if I can show a link that he has permissions to access?

Hi,

Read this topic Authentication and Authorization

you should see the rights or srbac extensions.

i think they will give you more convenience to do that.

All of your questions can be answered by this part of Yii’s tutorial.

You also need to have a front-end for easier maintainance. You can download one from the extensions page and see the items under Auth category.
