user->checkAccess is false when auth is parent

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

On an app i switched to db auth management to use a more complex auth system, but now i can’t understand why an user with a parent role fails the check for the child role.


if(Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('Administrator')){

this fails for a Superadmin user

I’ll explain myself:

I have 3 Roles: Normal, Administrator, Superadmin

The superadmin has 2 childs, Normal and Administrator, while administrator has 1, Normal.

Obviously every parent must be able to do everything his child can do.

Here’s the code from Useridentity where i assign the role


...

            $this->_id=$myUser->userid;

            $this->setState('title', $myUser->access_level);

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

            			

			if(!$auth->isAssigned($myUser->access_level,$this->_id))

			{

				if($auth->assign($myUser->access_level,$this->_id))

				{

					Yii::app()->authManager->save();

				}

			}
