Access Control Lists are handy things: they let you restrict who gets to do what and where (if you’ve ever configured .htacess, you’ve probably stuck your fingers into an ACL, whether you know it or not). Understanding them, however, is not so straight-forward.

Over on the CakePHP they’ve written a decent over-view of ACLs using everyone’s favourite group of midget merrymen: hobbits.

The first page is a good read whether you’re developing in PHP or not.
