This sounds like a great idea but the project I am working in is still using cake 1.1(stable). We are having problems with extreme slowness when loading a page because it goes through a recursive check of the acl to check permissions to the page. here is the checkACL function… any advice would be awesome function checkACL($acl, $role, $aco) { $role = (isset($acl[’role’])) ? $acl[’role’] : $role; unset($acl[’role’]);

            if(!empty($acl))
            {
                    foreach($acl as $key => $entry)
                    {
                            $acl[$key] = $this->checkACL($entry, $role, "$aco.$key");
                    }
            }

            $acl['permission'] = $this->Acl->check($role, $aco, "read");
            //debug("$role - $aco - {$acl['permission']}", true);
            return $acl;
    }

Nice Article. I always thought about the performance cost of using ACL. The indexes you suggest surely improve things a lot.

[…] fully implementing the AclComponent and optimizing it’s queries, I also realized that not only does it require configuration but it also bombards your database […]
