What is For

This behavior enable you to command the RBAC via console. This avoids you to install a entire rbac graphic toolkit to set up some rules in the rbac, maybe you are running inside a ssh console.

Let start by supposing you currently have a "foo" console command application, as you may already know the console based applications resides in the "protected/commands" directory and each class under this directory must extends from CConsoleCommand, by having this class: "class FooCommand extends CConsoleCommand { ... }". Read more about CConsoleCommand Applications in the Yii Framework documentation.

Command Line Usage

This is a sample command line, it creates a operation in your RBAC system either implemented by CDbAuthManager, CPhpAuthManager or other compatible with CAuthManager.

  cd /your-app-path/protected
  #display a help screen
  ./yiic foo rbac   
  #create a single operation
  ./yiic foo rbac --c="create operation someopr"
  #create a task (or role)
  ./yiic foo rbac --c="create task sometask"
  #make the operation to be inside the task
  ./yiic foo rbac --c="addchild sometask someopr"
  #finally assign the task to a speficied user
  ./yiic foo rbac --c="assign sometask admin"
  #test if the user admin has access to the operation
  ./yiic foo rbac --c="check someopr admin"

How to create a Batch file for better usability:

As i mention before the original yii-based command line usage is not appropiated for this kind of task:

   ./yiic foo rbac --c="list operation"

In order to help you when using the command line, i suggest you to write a batch file:

  $yourshell cd /yourapp/protected 
  $yourshell touch rbac  #create a empty file.
  $yourshell chmod +x rbac  #assign execution privilegies
  $yourshell echo "./yiic foo rbac --c=\"$1 $2 $3 $4\"" >> rbac

As result, you can do it in this way:

  $yourshell cd /yourapp/protected 
  $yourshell ./rbac list operation
  $yourshell ./rbac query somerole
  $yourshell ./rbac create operation someoper
  ...

How to Setup

The following steps will enable you to have basic console including a behavior designed to command your currently installed rbac feature. Read more about install a CAuthManager based authentication manager.

Step1: Configure a CConsoleCommand

Define a behavior in your current CConsoleCommand application, the behavior class should point to the newly created class speficied in the step2. I will start by supposing you have a "Foo" console command defined in:

  /path-to-your-app/protected/commands/FooCommand.php

Then, make a reference to the behavior and create a wrapper action.

<?php
	class FooCommand extends CConsoleCommand {
		public function behaviors(){
			return array(
				'rbac'=>array(
					'class'=>'application.components.ConsoleAuthManager',
				),
			);	
		}
		public function actionRbac($c=""){ // <--The wrapper action
			$this->rbac->run($c);	
		}
	}

Step2: Define the Behavior Class

Copy the following class body into this file:

  protected/components/ConsoleAuthManager.php
<?php
/**
 * ConsoleAuthManager
 	Enable a command line based wrapper for CDbAuthManager,

	<?php
	class FooCommand extends CConsoleCommand {
		public function behaviors(){
			return array(
				'rbac'=>array(
					'class'=>'application.components.ConsoleAuthManager',
				),
			);	
		}
		public function actionRbac($c=""){
			$this->rbac->run($c);	
		}
	}
	
	usage:

		./yiic foo rbac --c="some command"

class ConsoleAuthManager extends CBehavior {
	private $_lazyAuth;

	protected function getAuthManager(){
