Authentication and Authorization is a good tutorial. Among other topics, it describes basic aspects of Yii's RBAC implementation. But however hard I read the tutorial, I couldn't understand how exactly the hierarchy works. I found how to define authorization hierarchy, how business rules are evaluated, how to configure authManager, but almost nothing about how I should build my hierarchy, in what sequence its nodes are checked, when the checking process stops and what would be the checking result.

p.s. latest version of this tutorial is always available unter the docs/ folder of the User Management Module.

In this tutorial, we describe a way of organizing directories of the code for both ends.

CMenu comes with a lot of great customization options built in but sometimes you need it to do more.
