Difference between #15 and #14 of Installing Yii Users and Rights to Newly Created Yii app

After creating an yii app . we need to implement permission, Authentication and
Authorization .so the best way is to use the Yii users and Rights modules.

its very simple to install these modules

Download
--------

Download the yii-user [user](http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yii-user/
"user") and rights
[rights](http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/rights/ "rights")
extensions and unzip them.

unzip
-----

unzip the modules to

/your-app/protected/modules/user

/your-app/protected/modules/rights

Create tables for user module
-----------------------------

then goto /protected/modules/user/data/schema.mysql.sql

Need to update schema.mysql.sql to create field `lastvist_at` instead of
`lastvist`

open the sql file ,and create the tables manually(that i prefer) , remove the
'tbl_' prefix from the tables(i prefer)


configure
--------- 

then configure the config/main


under import
~~~
[php]
'import'=>array(
        ...
        'application.modules.user.models.*',
        'application.modules.user.components.*',

        ...
),
~~~
