Users Permissions Management plugin for CakePHP with GUI

UsersPermissions plugin for CakePHP

The UsersPermissions plugin is for allowing admins to add user permissions for each module in Cakephp. It provides a basic interface to manage user permissions and check upon each request. It provides check box based user permissions in a form like magento. The plugin uses bootstrap by default but you can change that. It will automatically get all controllers and actions from Your Cakephp application and in a GUI you can select the permissions for all controller or actions inside a controller., _(*1)

  bin/cake migrations migrate -p UsersPermissions
  

  Or create the following table in database:, _(*7)

  CREATE TABLE user_permissions (
    id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    user_id int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
    permissions text DEFAULT NULL,
    created_on timestamp NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_on date DEFAULT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
  )
