Rbac (not to be confused with ZfcRbac) is a pure PHP implementation of the RBAC (Role based access control) concept. Actually, it is a Zend Framework 3 prototype of the ZF2 Zend\Permissions\Rbac component.

It aims to fix some design mistakes that were made to make it more usable and more efficient.

It differs on those points:

  • RoleInterface no longer have setParent and getParent methods, and cannot have children anymore (this is used to implement a simpler "flat RBAC").
  • A new HierarchicalRoleInterface has been introduced to allow roles to have children.
  • Method hasPermission on a role no longer recursively iterate the children role, but only check its own permissions. To properly check if a role is granted, you should use the isGranted method of the Rbac class.
  • Rbac class is no longer a container. Instead, it just has a isGranted method. The container was complex to properly handle because of role duplication, which could lead to security problems if not used correctly.
