Let's start :)
Firstly we will load Aauth Library to system
$this->load->library("Aauth");thats OK.
Now we will create 2 new users, Ali and John
$this->aauth->create_user('ali@ali.com','alispass','Ali Akay');
$this->aauth->create_user('john@john.com','johnspass','John Button');thats it. now we have two users.
Lets Create two group governors and commons :)
$this->aauth->create_group('governors');
$this->aauth->create_group('commons');Then, Lets Create a User with power whic is Obama (having id=12)
$this->aauth->create_user('obama@usa.gov', 'pass-cia-fbi', 'Barrack Obama');ok now we have two groups and one user.
Lets create a permissions 'incrase_tax' and 'change_government'
$this->aauth->create_perm('increase_tax');
$this->aauth->create_perm('change_government');Ok, now lets give accesses. logically 'governors' will have 'increase_tax' permission and 'commons' will have 'change_government' access.
ok lets give proper access with alow_group() function
$this->aauth->allow_group('governors','increase_tax');
$this->aauth->allow_group('commons','change_government');
$this->aauth->allow_group('commons','increase_tax');Ops wait a minute. commons cannot 'increase_tax'. we need to fix it, we will use deny() to take back permission.
$this->aauth->deny('commons','increase_tax');Obama also can increse tax ha?
$this->aauth->allow_user(12,'increase_tax');Ok now lets check if commons can 'increase_tax'
if($this->aauth->is_group_allowed('commons','increase_tax')){
// i dont think so
} else {
// do sth in the middle
}Can Obama increase_tax ? Let's check it.
if($this->aauth->is_allowed(15,'increase_tax')){
// i guess so
} else {
// piece of code
}i think 'increse_tax' must have never been created. just delete it
$this->aauth->delete_perm('increase_tax');now better.
So what about public people? (public means not logged users). Can public people travel? Lets assume we have permissions namely 'travel' , of course.
$this->aauth->allow_group('public','travel');So Admin? what can he do? He can access everthing, You dont need to give permiision ( using allow_group() or allow_user() ) him, he already has.
What about User Variables? for every individual user, variables can be defined as key-value.
this is a simple example to set a variable.
$this->aauth->set_user_var("key","value");For example if you want to keep users phones
$this->aauth->set_user_var("phone","0216 313 23 33");to get the variable
$this->aauth->get_user_var("key");Aauth also permits you to define System Variables which can be accesed by every user in the system.
$this->aauth->set_system_var("key","Value");
$this->aauth->get_system_var("key");ok lets look at private messages. John (his id=3) will send pm to Ali(id=4)
$this->aauth->send_pm(3,4,'Hi bro. i need you',' can you gimme your credit card?')sorry John you will be banned :(
$this->aauth->ban_user(3);Quick Start is done but thats not the end
