Re: How to retrieve the URL being accessed

take a lock at
$this->params

you can do that with
pr() which prints out the array as long as you are in debug mode

there is
- controller: $this->params['controller']
- action: $this->params['action']
and more
but those two should do it for now

you can now check on them
but as soon as you need more functionality check out "auth component"
it is very good and powerful in handling rights
