Authorization stack for the CakePHP framework.

This branch is for CakePHP 3.x.

## Authorization not Authentication

This plugin intends to provide a framework around authorization and access
control. Authentication is a [separate 
concern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns) that has been
packaged into a separate [authentication plugin](https://github.com/cakephp/authentication).

## Installation

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using 
[composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
php composer.phar require cakephp/authorization
```

Load the plugin by adding the following statement in your project's
`src/Application.php`:
```php
$this->addPlugin('Authorization');
```
Prior to 3.6.0
```php
Plugin::load('Authorization');
```

## Documentation

Documentation for this plugin can be found in the [CakePHP
Cookbook](https://book.cakephp.org/authorization/1.1/en/)
