php - What does superuser mean in the rights-extension of Yii?

Solution:

you need to connect the user table with a table AuthAssignment, whose name has been declared in the array setting

'modules'=>array(
'rights'=>array(
    'superuserName'=>'admin',
     ),
 ),
Copy code

then, you have to change the table AuthAssignment userid field that refer to field id on table user

Solution:

If you have installed user and rights like here, Just run this in your database:

INSERT INTO `AuthAssignment` (`itemname`, `userid`, `bizrule`, `data`) VALUES ('Admin', '1', NULL, 'N');
INSERT INTO `AuthItem` (`name`, `type`, `description`, `bizrule`, `data`) VALUES ('Admin', 0, 'Admin', NULL, 'N;'); 
Copy code

Note: In the tutorial all table names of rights module are in lower case.

Solution:

The naming is a bit misleading, I stumbled upon that problem also.

superuserName should be namedsuperuserRole, meaning that all users which are assigned to the role specified there are super-users.

Please note thatYii::app()->user->checkAccess('whatever') will alwaysreturn true for super-users.

See also RAuthorizer.php:

/**
* @property string the name of the superuser role.
*/
public $superuserName;
Copy code

and RWebUser.php.

Solution:

FWIW (since it's been so long), you have to grant one of your users the superuser role.

That role name is denoted in thesuperuserName property in the config file, as shown in your post. This can be done directly via SQL, by updating theauthAssignment table (its name may be different in your case, it is configurable).

INSERT INTO `authassignment` (`itemname`, `userid`, `bizrule`, `data`) VALUES ('admin', '1', NULL, 'N;');
Copy code

Then, log in as the appropriate user (the one corresponding to id #1, in this particular case).

Solution:

there's a small hack, line you have to comment out for it to work...

check official extension page comments

EDIT: I didn't want to post a link to my own blog because it looks like self-promoting but it's a very comprehensive solution to your problem I think : installing yii-rights extension

Solution:

i think you have to use mysql database and table user not default authentication -it is just a example of authentication-. after you import user table you should add a user with username "admin" -if u have "admin" in superuserName config- in user table.

Solution:

I managed to install it by following a post on the yii-forums - here is a permalink to my post: http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php/topic/10556-extension-rights/page__view__findpost__p__229721
