Alex Tech Adventures The webs best tutorials!

HI, how you doing?
Do you have a video tutorial about how to create some sort of global ACL object and then store that object in cache of in database in serialized form?

I am also looking for tutorial on how to create database schema for user groups and premissions and then based on those tables create ACL.

Basically I want to store group names in a table like USERGROUP
id auto_increment
group_name
group_description (just for comments and notes about groups, not used for logic)

Then a table with permissions
id auto_increment
permission
description (just for notes, not for login)

The 'permission' will be, for example, 'edit_profile', or 'read_blog_article' or 'change_password'

Then there is a usual USER table with
id
username
password,
firstname,
lastname.
and maybe some other things.

And the tricky thing to somehow to tie the permission_id with group_id and then load all this data into ACL object and then maybe store the ACL somewhere in cache.

Right now I don't have a very clear idea on how to do this.
To make things even more difficult I want to make it so a user can belong to more than one group and then use ACL inheritence to calculate the permission.

If you have any experience or have a good idea about how to implement it, please reply.

Sorry i am replying without a definite answer, just wanting to let you know that I [am] paying attention to your requests.

Believe it or not I once started on this but then felt other topics besides ACL had to be addressed to (i already had about 3 acl tutorials at the time) so I put it on hold.
I very much dislike my current method that I am presenting where a massive ACL object is created for nothing since only small part of it is in use at any time.

I have not seen any concrete solutions on this out there yet so I have to take time to develop my own strategy. This is especially tricky with dynamic assertions.

Again, sorry my answer is like water. I'll do what I can.
