====== setAccessControl ======
{#JAPI Joomla.Framework Application JController::setAccessControl #}

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 [[jcontroller-authorize|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. |

===== Examples =====
If the following code was inserted into the constructor of the derived controller class:
<code php|Example>
$this->setAccessControl( 'com_weblinks' );
</code>
then
<code php|Example>
echo ($controller->authorize( 'manage' ) ? 'True' : 'False');
</code>
might produce
<code php|Result>
True
</code>
if the current user has manage rights on the com_weblinks controller.
