I am trying to understand Acl with Cakephp, this article has helped a lot but I am still lost on some aspects. I understand the ARO, this to be pretty simple. It is with the ACO’s that I get lost on. Cake’s documentation doesn’t do justice to the ACO making it look like a flat tree. You actually add levels to it in this article which I think I like. So my question begins with do you have to list all models in this type of tree? For instance do I have to list the models that only the superuser (has access to the entire site) has access to? If so where would they end up in the tree (under entire site at the same level you have main_models and aux_models)?

Next question is there an easy way to update permissions for users, or does this have to be done at he command line or through a function in a controller that is run from a browser? How do you go about changing a user from general user to admin?

And lastly, do you know if the code supplied above works in version 2.x? Thanks for your time on this matter as I am finding it difficult to grasp the total concept of the Acl.
