# ACL
The ACL is defined as follows:
## Roles
Roles define a group of user. like Author, Admin, Guest etc.
Each role can inherit other roles with the "inherit" key.
Each role can gain access to a zone (explained later) by the
"allowed-zones" key. Per default a role is denied access to all zones.
## Resources
Resources maps directly to `controller` names. If a controller is not
under the default module. `<module>/<controller>` format is used instead.
A special wildcard `*` character can be used to allow access to all
controllers (most likely only useful for non-default modules).
For example the resource `backend/*` Matches all controllers under
the backend module.
### Special controllers.
There a 2 controllers that are a bit special,
`index` and `error` resources are always accessible by everyone (e.g. they
are not part of the ACL).
## Access levels.
These are not used in this system. a hardcoded "All" level is used.
## Zones
Zones defines as 1 or more resources. for example an "backend" zone can
have 2 controllers/resources (*site-config*, *user-manager*)
Zones can also defines entire modules
# Example config.
acl.yml
```yaml
acl:
roles:
guest: # Guests are only allowed to access the public zone.
allowed-zones: public
description: Non logged in users
user: # Users inherits the guest role + has access to user zone.
inherits: guest
allowed-zones: user
description: Logged in users
admin: # Admins inherits the user role + has access to backend zone.
inherits: user
description: Administrators
allowed-zones: backend
zones:
# Public zone is the start page in
# index controller + login/logout in auth.
public: [ auth ]
# User zone can access profile and settings controllers
user: [ profile, settings ]
# Backend zone is the entire backend module.
backend: backend/*
```
