A Phalcon PHP plugin providing user authentication, social login, ACL, and profile management based on Vökuró ACL.
Phalcon User Plugin is a PHP module for Phalcon-based web applications that handles user authentication, social login integration, and access control. It solves the need for a ready-made, secure user system with role-based permissions and OAuth support, reducing development time for login and authorization features.
Phalcon PHP developers building web applications that require user registration, login, and role-based access control, especially those integrating social media authentication.
Developers choose it for its seamless integration with Phalcon's architecture, out-of-the-box social login providers, and flexible ACL system, eliminating the need to build these complex features from scratch.
Phalcon User Plugin is a comprehensive authentication and authorization module for Phalcon PHP applications. It extends the Vökuró ACL concept to deliver a robust user management system with social integration and fine-grained access control.
The plugin follows a modular, service-oriented design that integrates cleanly with Phalcon's dependency injection and events system, prioritizing security and extensibility.

Integrates OAuth for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google with detailed connector configuration, reducing setup time for multi-provider authentication.
Allows fine-grained control over resources with public/private types and exceptions, as shown in the config examples for protecting controller actions.
Includes password recovery, profile fields (birth date, location), and a notifications system, handling common user-related tasks out-of-the-box.
Designed to work with Phalcon's DI and events, demonstrated by easy service registration and plugin attachment in the dispatcher setup.
The plugin generates random emails for Twitter logins due to API restrictions, a known issue that can complicate user management and communication.
The TODO list notes missing CRUD templates for ACL and user management, indicating that admin interfaces are not fully developed and require extra work.
Requires detailed config arrays and service registrations, which can be error-prone, especially for multi-module apps as highlighted in the README.
The README emphasizes switching to v3.0.0 but primarily documents v2.0, leading to potential compatibility issues and unclear feature sets.
