I’m new to CakePHP, just followed the CMS tutorial and trying to figure out how authorization component works.
Auth on single Entity works fine, but when I create a table policy class for my Entity I don’t know how to implement the actions, this is the actual code:
class utentivaleTablePolicy
{
```
public function canIndex(IdentityInterface $user, utentivale $utentivale)
{
return true;
}
public function scopeIndex(IdentityInterface $user, utentivale $utentivale )
{
return $user->role_id== $user::TYPE_ADMIN;
}
```
}
In the controller class, index method:
public function index()
{
```
$utentivale = $this->paginate($this->Utentivale);
$this->Authorization->authorize($utentivale);
$this->set(compact('utentivale'));
}
```
When I go to localhost:8765/utentivale/ I receive the error
_Error ‘Policy for Cake\ORM\ResultSet has not been defined’._
I must be missing something…
Thanks for your help

UP.
Same issue here. I would like to set authorization policy to the users controller, but i cannot figure out because i get stuck at " Policy for `Cake\ORM\ResultSet` has not been defined" error…
The example is the cms in the toturial. How can i set authorization to the view and index method?
A little help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
Nicola.

I resolved implemeting the scopeIndex functions in UsersTablePolicy in a different way:
public function scopeIndex(IdentityInterface $user, Query $query )
{
```
return $query->select(['field1','field2','fieldn']);
```
}
Check also in UserPolicy that canView is enabled:
public function canView(IdentityInterface $user, User $resource)
```
{
return true;
}
```
PS: these are examples, so you have to provide your own business logic

For those you are searching. Based on [policy docs.](https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/tutorials-and-examples/cms/authorization.html)
Create/bake policy with ( **–type table** ) :
```auto
// note plural
bin/cake bake policy -v --type table Articles
```
Then add this in the newly created/baked `/src/Policy/ActiclesTablePolicy.php`
```auto
public function canIndex($user, $query)
{
//return true or false;
}
```
```auto
// In controller
$this->Authorization->authorize($query);
```

Here, you can do different things:
1. To send the Table class and accept “UtentivaleTable” object as the second parameter in the policy’s canIndex function:
// In controller’s index() action
$this-\>Authorization-\>authorize($this-\>Utentivale);
// In policy class:
public function canIndex(IdentityInterface $user, UtentivaleTable $utentivale)
{
return true;
}
1. To send the query and accept Cake\ORM\Query object as the second parameter in the policy’s canIndex function:
// In controller’s index() action
$query = $this-\>Utentivale-\>find();
$this-\>Authorization-\>authorize($query);
$utentivale = $this-\>paginate($query);
// In policy class:
public function canIndex(IdentityInterface $user, Cake\ORM\Query $query)
{
return true;
}
There could be more solutions available. But, haven’t tried anything else.
Hope this works.
Thank you!
