    <p>I've put a considerable amount of digging into this but I haven't been able to figure out what the best method would be.</p> <p>I have an employee management system where everyone who logs in is either an "employee", a "supervisor" or a "manager".</p> <p>At the moment, I display different versions of pages just fine depending on what their rank is. However, regular "employees" can still get to pages they shouldn't if they manually enter the URL. According to CakePHP's documentation, it says all pages are restricted by default, and you have to grant access to each one. But I haven't granted access and it seems all the pages are accessible.</p> <p>What is the best method for page access? Thanks!</p> <p>Edit: Here is the configuration of the AppController:</p> <pre><code> public $components = array( 'DebugKit.Toolbar', 'Session', 'Auth' =&gt; array( 'authenticate' =&gt; array( 'Form' =&gt; array( 'userModel' =&gt; 'Employee' ) ), 'loginAction' =&gt; array( 'controller' =&gt; 'employees', 'action' =&gt; 'login', //'plugin' =&gt; 'users' ), 'loginRedirect' =&gt; array('controller' =&gt; 'employees', 'action' =&gt; 'dashboard'), 'logoutRedirect' =&gt; array('controller' =&gt; 'employees', 'action' =&gt; 'login'), 'authError' =&gt; 'You must be logged in to see that.' ) ); </code></pre> <p>And then there is the isAuthorized() method which always is set to return false:</p> <pre><code>public function isAuthorized($user = null) { // Any registered user can access public functions /*if (empty($this-&gt;request-&gt;params['admin'])) { return true; }*/ // Only admins can access admin functions /*if (isset($this-&gt;request-&gt;params['admin'])) { return (bool)($user['role'] === 'admin'); }*/ // Default deny return false; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
