Iauthmanager::getitemchildren: Why Not Getitemparents?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi,

Is there a particular reason why the IAuthManager interface defines (and CDbAuthManager and CPhpAuthManager implement) a getItemChildren() function, but no getItemParents() function?

I would guess it’s because the common way to iterate through the items is from the root node through their children. What are you looking to do?
