Configuring the authorization manager

Before we can establish an authorization hierarchy, assign users to roles, and perform access permission checking, we need to configure the authorization manager application component, authManager. This component is responsible for storing the permission data and managing the relationships between permissions. It also provides the methods to check whether or not a user has access to perform a particular operation. Yii provides two types of authorization managers CPhpAuthManager and CDbAuthManager. CPhpAuthManager uses a PHP script file to store the authorization data. CDbAuthManager, as you might have guessed, stores the authorization data in a database. The authManager is configured as an application component. Configuring the authorization manager consists simply of specifying which of these two types to use and then setting its initial class property values.

We'll use the database implementation for our application. To make this configuration, open up the main configuration file, protected/config/main.php, and add the following to the application components array:

// application components 'components'=>array( … 'authManager'=>array( 'class'=>'CDbAuthManager', 'connectionID'=>'db', ),
