User management module for Yii 2

Perks

• User management
• RBAC (roles, permissions and stuff) with web interface
• Registration, authorization, password recovery and so on
• Visit log
• Optimised (zero DB queries during usual user workflow)
• Nice widgets like GhostMenu or GhostHtml::a where elements are visible only if user has access to route where they point

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

composer require --prefer-dist webvimark/module-user-management "*"

or add

"webvimark/module-user-management": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Configuration

1. In your config/web.php

'components'=>[
	'user' => [
		'class' => 'webvimark\modules\UserManagement\components\UserConfig',

		// Comment this if you don't want to record user logins
		'on afterLogin' => function($event) {
				\webvimark\modules\UserManagement\models\UserVisitLog::newVisitor($event->identity->id);
			}
	],
],

'modules'=>[
	'user-management' => [
		'class' => 'webvimark\modules\UserManagement\UserManagementModule',

		// Here you can set your handler to change layout for any controller or action
		// Tip: you can use this event in any module
		'on beforeAction'=>function(yii\base\ActionEvent $event) {
				if ( $event->action->uniqueId == 'user-management/auth/login' )
				{
					$event->action->controller->layout = 'loginLayout.php';
				};
			},
	],
],

Layout handler example in AuthHelper::layoutHandler()

To see full list of options check UserManagementModule file

2. In your config/console.php (this is needed for migrations and working with console)

'modules'=>[
	'user-management' => [
		'class' => 'webvimark\modules\UserManagement\UserManagementModule',
	],
],

3. Run migrations

./yii migrate --migrationPath=vendor/webvimark/module-user-management/migrations/

4. In you base controller

public function behaviors()
{
	return [
		'ghost-access'=> [
			'class' => 'webvimark\modules\UserManagement\components\GhostAccessControl',
		],
	];
}

Where you can go

<?php
use webvimark\modules\UserManagement\components\GhostMenu;
use webvimark\modules\UserManagement\UserManagementModule;

echo GhostMenu::widget([
	'encodeLabels'=>false,
	'activateParents'=>true,
	'items' => [
		[
			'label' => 'Backend routes',
			'items'=>UserManagementModule::menuItems()
		],
		[
			'label' => 'Frontend routes',
			'items'=>[
				['label'=>'Login', 'url'=>['/user-management/auth/login']],
				['label'=>'Logout', 'url'=>['/user-management/auth/logout']],
				['label'=>'Registration', 'url'=>['/user-management/auth/registration']],
				['label'=>'Change own password', 'url'=>['/user-management/auth/change-own-password']],
				['label'=>'Password recovery', 'url'=>['/user-management/auth/password-recovery']],
				['label'=>'E-mail confirmation', 'url'=>['/user-management/auth/confirm-email']],
			],
		],
	],
]);
?>

First steps

From the menu above at first you'll se only 2 element: "Login" and "Logout" because you have no permission to visit other urls and to render menu we using GhostMenu::widget(). It's render only element that active user can visit.

Also same functionality has GhostNav::widget() and GhostHtml:a()

1. Login as superadmin/superadmin

2. Go to "Permissions" and play there

3. Go to "Roles" and play there

4. Go to "User" and play there

5. Relax

Usage

You controllers may have two properties that will make whole controller or selected action accessible to everyone

public $freeAccess = true;

Or

public $freeAccessActions = ['first-action', 'another-action'];

Here are list of the useful helpers. For detailed explanation look in the corresponding functions.

User::hasRole($roles, $superAdminAllowed = true)
User::hasPermission($permission, $superAdminAllowed = true)
User::canRoute($route, $superAdminAllowed = true)

User::assignRole($userId, $roleName)
User::revokeRole($userId, $roleName)

User::getCurrentUser($fromSingleton = true)

Role, Permission and Route all have following methods

Role::create($name, $description = null, $groupCode = null, $ruleName = null, $data = null)
Role::addChildren($parentName, $childrenNames, $throwException = false)
Role::removeChildren($parentName, $childrenNames)

Events

Events can be handled via config file like following

'modules'=>[
	'user-management' => [
		'class' => 'webvimark\modules\UserManagement\UserManagementModule',
		'on afterRegistration' => function(UserAuthEvent $event) {
			// Here you can do your own stuff like assign roles, send emails and so on
		},
	],
],

List of supported events can be found in UserAuthEvent class

FAQ

Question: I want users to register and login with they e-mails! Mmmmm... And they should confirm it too!

Answer: See configuration properties $useEmailAsLogin and $emailConfirmationRequired

Question: I want to have profile for user with avatar, birthday and stuff. What should I do ?

Answer: Profiles are to project-specific, so you'll have to implement them yourself (but you can find example here - https://github.com/webvimark/user-management/wiki/Profile-and-custom-registration). Here is how to do it without modifying this module

1. Create table and model for profile, that have user_id (connect with "user" table)

2. Check AuthController::actionRegistration() how it works (you can skip this part)

3. Define your layout for registration. Check example in AuthHelper::layoutHandler(). Now use theming to change registraion.php file

4. Define your own UserManagementModule::$registrationFormClass. In this class you can do whatever you want like validating custom forms and saving profiles

5. Create your controller where user can view profiles
