USER MODEL

By default users are saved in the database and accessed through a model. With Kwf_Registry::get('userModel') you can get the user model, which will return an instance of Kwf_User_Model.

Using this model you can access the users like a standard model. In addition there are various methods to access the active user:

• getAuthedUserRole()
• getAuthedUser()
• getAuthedUserId()

A common pattern to check for permissions is Kwf_Registry::get('userModel')->getAuthedUserRole() which returns the user role of the currently authorized user.

To change the user model class use this setting in user.model in config.ini, see config settings for more on that.
