/*
 * IMPORTANT:
 * This is an example configuration file. Copy this file into your config directory and edit to
 * setup your app permissions.
 *
 * This is a quick roles-permissions implementation
 * Rules are evaluated top-down, first matching rule will apply
 * Each line define
 *      [
 *          'role' => 'role' | ['roles'] | '*'
 *          'prefix' => 'Prefix' | , (default = null)
 *          'plugin' => 'Plugin' | , (default = null)
 *          'controller' => 'Controller' | ['Controllers'] | '*',
 *          'action' => 'action' | ['actions'] | '*',
 *          'allowed' => true | false | callback (default = true)
 *      ]
 * You could use '*' to match anything
 * 'allowed' will be considered true if not defined. It allows a callable to manage complex
 * permissions, like this
 * 'allowed' => function (array $user, $role, Request $request) {}
 *
 * Example, using allowed callable to define permissions only for the owner of the Posts to edit/delete
 *
 * (remember to add the 'uses' at the top of the permissions.php file for Hash, TableRegistry and Request
