This extension is an alternate role based access control system for the Yii. It meant to be more tied to the MVC in that sense that each permission is closely related to controller/action pair and access checking is being performed in controller filters.

It also features an yiic shell command which will allow you to fully manipulate permissions and roles, e.g. create/update/grant and revoke, search, etc.

At present this extension is in early stage and was only tested with MySQL 5 database
