Symfony2 Group permissions with ACL
According to the cookbook, you can use the RoleSecurityIdentity instead of just the UserSecurityIdentity. So from my understanding of it your Role is your Group. Im working on a similar issue now. When have have done a little more with it Ill try and update this with some code snippets.
But for now have a look at: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/security/acl_advanced.html
EDIT:
We have gone in another direction and are instead going more with a permission per controller action system. So every controller action is assigned a permission name using annotations.
#SomeDomain/SomeBundle/Controller/SomeController.php/** * @Permissions(perm="some.name.for.the.node") */ public function indexAction(){ ... }Then we have a permission bundle with a service that checks the permissions when a controller function is called. Our admins are given a GUI that will allow them to manage the permissions that groups will have and individual users.
Check out this gist that inspired what we are doing: https://gist.github.com/1391850
Im aware this isnt the acl system you were looking for but just thought i would update with what we are doing.
