CakePHP ACL disable automatic ARO creation

I (finally) got ACL to work properly, based on group permissions. However when I create a new user (Users/add) it automagically.. I mean.. autoinconveniently creates a User ARO.. While this is not really a big problem, I would like my ARO table to stay as开发者_运维知识库 clean as possible. Just my groups.

How do I disable the automatic creation of a User ARO object when creating a new user through CRUD?

i had the same problem and, like you, i said to myself "its not a big deal as long as it's working"... but when i started to have more and more users and when i added new groups, i found that ACL was not working correctly.. If you're using a group-based permissions, you MUST ONLY have groups in your AROS table.

Brief, the documentation says that you need to add the bindNode() in your Users model if you want a group-based ACL, but what they don't tell you is that for group-based permissions your User model doesn't have to implement the requester behavior and you don't need the parentNode() neither. Remove those two and it should be ok.

I added a note on the documentation, i hope it gets published :)

Good Luck
