Maps the access control to a section in the ACO.

The specified ACO section generally maps to the component. These settings are used by the authorize() method.

Syntax

void setAccessControl ( $section, $value )

$section	string	is a string containing the ACO section (eg, the component).
$value	string	is a string containing the ACO section value (if using a constant value). This parameter is optional and if omitted defaults to null.

If the following code was inserted into the constructor of the derived controller class:

Example

$this->setAccessControl( 'com_weblinks' );

then

Example

echo ($controller->authorize( 'manage' ) ? 'True' : 'False');

might produce

Result

True

if the current user has manage rights on the com_weblinks controller.
