Re: How to hide/show links in view /default.ctp/ for different types of user group

I do a similar thing but I an using the Auth component without ACL.
However, I have added a 'role' field to my users table so I can select
actions based on the user's role like you desire.

In my controller I have the following:

class PagesController extends AppController {

public $name = 'Pages';
.
.
.
public $components = array('Auth');

public function beforeFilter() {
// Allow all pages to be accessed by all users by default
$this->Auth->allow('*');
// If the client or admin is not logged in, deny access to edit
functions
$role = $this->Auth->user('role');
if ($role == 'client' || $role == 'admin') {
$this->set('role', $role);
}
else {
$this->Auth->deny('edit', 'add', 'delete');
}
}
}

In the view I have:

if (!empty($role) && ($role == 'client' || $role == 'admin')) {
echo $html->link('Action 1',
array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'action_1'))."\n";
}

if (!empty($role) && ($role == 'admin')) {
echo $html->link('Action 2',
array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'action_2'))."\n";
}

echo $html->link('Action 3',
array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'action_3'))."\n";

So
User Links Displayed
admin action_1, action_2, action_3
client action_1, action_3
all action_3

I hope this helps
