Yii not giving Valid checkAccess results

I am learning Yii and am trying to develop RBAC now the issue is that I have created roles and so on executed that script via shell I have database tables in place and that Roles and everything gets populated. now I donot know why but in main.php

if(Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('admin'))

        echo 'Admin';

else

    echo 'No Admin';

always return No admin .What I am trying to do is display a different menu based on user type i.e it is admin or reader or manager and so on. but this fails.

I am attaching my role assignment also here

IAuthManager::save()

            $this->_authManager->assign('manager','2');

            $this->_authManager->save();

but results are still same

may be possible issue is cho Yii::app()->user->id; or echo Yii::app()->user->getId(); returns user name instead of user ID

hi have you been able to solve this? I have exact same problem as you described, what solution did you find?

What is your Yii::app()->user->id value?

If it still an username then you must override getId() of the UserIdentity class…

it’s 1. Btw I solved it, problem was here:

Yii::app()->authManager->checkAccess("admin", Yii::app()->user->id)

I created role named “adminRole” and there I was checking for role “admin”, it took me some time to realise this
