    <p>I have set up a working ACL system with CakePHP inside my company's existing site. Access restriction works perfect, groups and single users that don't have the right to visit a specific portion of the site get an authError message explaining that they don't have the proper rights.</p> <p>The only problem is that in Firefox I sometimes get -what I'd like to call- false positives. This means that, even though a user has access to a certain controller and action, the authError still pops up. The strange thing is, the view still renders properly, and except for the authError there is nothing wrong. Everything works, users can see what they need to see. Only sometimes the authError is still displayed.</p> <p>Now this randomly occurs sometimes in Firefox, but in IE8 this happens all the time. Even though a user has full access to the whole site, the authError message is still displayed on every single page in IE8. I haven't checked if this problem persists in other IE browsers, but since it happens in both IE8 and FF, my thoughts were that they probably exist in others too.</p> <p>Now I can't get my head around why this is happening, since there is no real pattern here. In FF the authError randomly gives a false positive, and in IE8 it is just displayed all the time.</p> <p>One could argue that for some reason the users rights are checked after the authError message has been given a 'go' to appear. Resulting in proper access even though the error message has already been displayed. I already checked whether or not the loading time of the page had anything to do with it, but this does not seem to be the case.</p> <p>Are there users around that have any idea what could be the cause of this problem? Thanks in advance!</p>

    1. COI would check if there is some content in your pages that tries to access a protected URL (I think of an Ajax request, a wrong URL for an image pointing to a protected action, etc.). It would set an Auth error message in session that would be displayed at the next page load. And the comportment difference between Firefox and IE could be explained by a different cache policy.

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.
