HOWEVER: since Yii rewrites the auth.php file into a form that's far more difficult to edit, it's a good idea to edit a **auth.txt** file, where you can format and comment properly, then copy it to auth.php when you're ready to try it. The first time Yii rewrites auth.php it will be apparent why you want to do this.
Declare some roles in our auth.txt file:
```php
// protected/runtimedata/auth.
txtphp
return array([...]
```
## Adiditional/optional settings: ##
In your auth.php file you can use the following parameters:[...]

>Disclaimer: The above code works for me. I do not guarantee that it will work in all situations. If you need more complex RBAC structure use the DB one. I've read all posts in the forum re: RBAC but none of them helped me so the above code has been discovered through trial & error. Use it on your own responsibility.
