This HowTo assumes that you have a smattering of ACL in general and of how [the acl-extension](http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/acl/ "the ACL-Extension") works basically. It will introduce you into the abstract and give you a hint on how to use Business-Rules. If you have in-depth questions, please refer to the extension documentation.
Using ACL in an RBAC-manner cannot and should never obscure the fact that the underlying system is still ACL-based. In fact, the Business-Rules are just another layer in the permission-check plan.
Layers in ACL (at full extend):
1. General Permission Lookup
2. Regular ACL-Permission lookup
3. Business-Rules lookup
Please note that Business-rules are indeed independent of the first layer, although it may be more convenient to combine them.[...]
