Sorry, but I still didn't quite get the difference between credentials and permissions. They both are one string/identifier limiting access to a resource. Am I right? So as far as words are concerned, they can be used interchangeably, maybe as far as concepts are concerned they differ, as belonging to different contexts (sfBasicSecurity, and sfBasicSecurity respectively).
I'm not sure if I explained clearly my point.
As always, an example would surely clarify on this issue... would you be so kind to provide one? As this is also a foggy issue for me...
Thanks in advance

credentials are from sfBasicSecurity user

permissions are from sfGuardPlugin

permissions and credentials are NOT interchangeable at all UNLESS you overwrite hasCredential in myUser.class.php

class myUser extends sfGuardSecurityUser
{
public function hasCredential($credential, $useAnd = true) {
if ($p = parent::hasCredential($credential, $useAnd)) { return $p;}
if (is_string($credential) && ($p = parent::hasPermission($credential))) { return $p;};
return $p;
}
}hasCredential is passing all kinds of arrays arround and is iteratively calling itself ... when it is a string we also check hasPermission

thank u!!

I have 2 Tips:

1) for get the sfGuardUser on the Action:
$user = $this->getUser()->getGuardUser();
2) and on the Layout:
$user = $sf_user->getGuardUser();

This is most powerful and we can return a Doctrine-Object with all his relationships

, Best!! ;)
