Security
========

The current ``AdminBundle`` implementation uses ACL and ROLES to handle permissions.

If you want an easy way to handle users, please use :

 - https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/UserBundle : handle users and group stored from RDMS or MongoDB
 - https://github.com/sonata-project/UserBundle : integrate the ``FriendsOfSymfony/UserBundle`` with
   the ``AdminBundle``

The security integration is a work in progress and have some knows issues :
 - ACL permissions are immutables
 - Only one PermissionMap can be defined


Configuration
-------------


    - The following configuration defines :

        - the ``FriendsOfSymfony/UserBundle`` as a security provider
        - the login form for authentification
        - the access control : resources with related required roles, the important part is the admin configuration
        - the ``acl`` option enable the ACL.

            # Secured part of the site
            # This config requires being logged for the whole site and having the admin role for the admin part.
            # Change these rules to adapt them to your needs
            - { path: ^/admin/, role: ROLE_ADMIN }
            - { path: ^/.*, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }


        role_hierarchy:
            ROLE_ADMIN:       ROLE_USER
            ROLE_SUPERADMIN: [ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]

        acl:
            connection: default

- Install the ACL tables ``php app/console init:acl``

- Create a new user :

.. code-block::

    # php app/console fos:user:create
    Please choose a username:root
    Please choose an email:root@domain.com
    Please choose a password:root
    Created user root


- Promote an user as super admin :

.. code-block::

    # php app/console fos:user:promote root
    User "root" has been promoted as a super administrator.

If you have Admin classes, you can install the related CRUD ACL rules :

.. code-block::

    # php app/console sonata:admin:setup-acl
    Starting ACL AdminBundle configuration
    > install ACL for sonata.media.admin.media
       - add role: ROLE_SONATA_MEDIA_ADMIN_MEDIA_EDIT, ACL: ["EDIT"]
       - add role: ROLE_SONATA_MEDIA_ADMIN_MEDIA_LIST, ACL: ["LIST"]
       - add role: ROLE_SONATA_MEDIA_ADMIN_MEDIA_CREATE, ACL: ["CREATE"]
       - add role: ROLE_SONATA_MEDIA_ADMIN_MEDIA_DELETE, ACL: ["DELETE"]
       - add role: ROLE_SONATA_MEDIA_ADMIN_MEDIA_OPERATOR, ACL: ["OPERATOR"]
    ... skipped ...

If you try to access to the admin class you should see the login form, just logon with the ``root`` user.

Usage
-----

Everytime you create a new ``Admin`` class, you should create start the command ``php app/console sonata:admin:setup-acl``
so the ACL database will be updated with the latest masks and roles informations.
