Cakephp: grant acl permission using cli

Question

I'm trying to grant edit Users permission to a group (users) using the cli.

Here's the relevant line from the aros table:

id  parent_id   model   foreign_key     alias   lft     rght

3       NULL      Group     3              NULL     13      22

Here's the relevant line from from the acos table:

id  parent_id   model   foreign_key     alias   lft     rght
27      1          NULL     NULL            Users   68      89
31    27         NULL     NULL            edit    75       76

I tried using this command:

cake acl grant users Users edit

but I got this error message:

PHP Warning: DbAcl::allow() - Invalid node in /var/www/html/cakepf/cake/libs/controller/components/acl.php on line 361

Warning: DbAcl::allow() - Invalid node in /var/www/html/cakepf/cake/libs/controller/components/acl.php on line 361 Permission was not granted.

Any assistance on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated.

Cake responds with an invalid node error: it cannot find the node you're referencing. When you look at the command you're executing, you're trying to access the node users. How should Cake know which node this is? The alias column for your node in your aros table is empty.

Solution: use the right alias in your aros table. You can also use cake acl view aro or cake acl view aco to see what your ACL tables look like to Cake.
