CAuthManager extends CApplicationComponent and implements some methods that are common among authorization manager classes.
CAuthManager together with its concrete child classes implement the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
The main idea is that permissions are organized as a hierarchy of authorization items. Items on higher level inherit the permissions represented by items on lower level. And roles are simply top-level authorization items that may be assigned to individual users. A user is said to have a permission to do something if the corresponding authorization item is inherited by one of his roles.
Using authorization manager consists of two aspects. First, the authorization hierarchy and assignments have to be established. CAuthManager and its child classes provides APIs to accomplish this task. Developers may need to develop some GUI so that it is more intuitive to end-users. Second, developers call IAuthManager::checkAccess at appropriate places in the application code to check if the current user has the needed permission for an operation.

Property Details
defaultRoles property
public array $defaultRoles;
list of role names that are assigned to all users implicitly. These roles do not need to be explicitly assigned to any user. When calling checkAccess, these roles will be checked first. For performance reason, you should minimize the number of such roles. A typical usage of such roles is to define an 'authenticated' role and associate it with a biz rule which checks if the current user is authenticated. And then declare 'authenticated' in this property so that it can be applied to every authenticated user.
operations property read-only
public array getOperations(mixed $userId=NULL)
Returns operations. This is a shortcut method to IAuthManager::getAuthItems.
roles property read-only
public array getRoles(mixed $userId=NULL)
Returns roles. This is a shortcut method to IAuthManager::getAuthItems.
showErrors property (available since v1.1.3)
public boolean $showErrors;
Enable error reporting for bizRules.
tasks property read-only
public array getTasks(mixed $userId=NULL)
Returns tasks. This is a shortcut method to IAuthManager::getAuthItems.
